Genre

Perth Places People

As well as landscapes and beautiful urban places Garry likes depicting people and people doing things, like being at the beach, dancing, performing music and marching in a parade.

Portrait

Garry has a love-hate relationship with portraiture. He finds it a difficult genre, but when they work, very rewarding. His approach is generally a loving one, rather than a critical or penetrating one, because he enjoys giving joy to the portrait subjects, and the people who love them.

Early Genre

Like his successful portraits, the early genre paintings Childhood and Nikaela and Bear express love and affection for the subject. While the nudes are earnest treatments of the subjects.
