Jewels of the Landscape

The paintings were on display at Michael Commerford Gallery during December 2000.

Exhibition and Gallery Details

Artist's Statement:

These paintings share some of my many encounters with our wonderful Australian bird life.
Being beautiful and delicate leaves them vulnerable, and as with most precious things, difficult to come by.
Many are very elusive and so rare, that I consider them 'Jewels of the Landscape'.
