Dog-eared & Torn – Deebee Bishop Album Launch
I recently had the privilege of contributing some violin, mandolin and vocals to my good friend Deebee Bishopâs new album titled Dog-eared & Torn.
Gwitha McLean and Whangaehu Beach
Gwitha Mclean often painted these whimsical little landscapes in watercolour as she traveled around the country. She lived in the beautiful area of Porangahau in the North Island of New Zealand.
Porangahau was untouched for many years but even the once un-populated Whangaehu beach is turning into a small village these days.
El Greco
This image of El Greco’s (Domenikos Theotokopoulos) painting of Saint Martin and the Beggar, comes from an old 1954 Collins Fontana book…
Constant Permeke
Constant Permeke was a painter who created some fantastic, bold and chunky works such as The Sower 1933 shown here. Constant worked a lot in this chunky style…
Eugene Delacroix
Eugene knocked this self portrait together in about 1837. A fine piece of work. Oil on canvas. I think it’s in the Louvre but don’t quote me on that.
Lucas Cranach The Elder
Lucas, painted this fine portrait of Martin Luther. He was a bit obsessed with painting Martin and his wife. Painters can get a bit obsessive like that though.
Mario Mazzorana
Pencil on paper 1991. A gift from Mario Mazzorana.
