Upcoming Exhibition
The Morning of the White Rainbow
The work on this page will be exhibited in 2025.
Some years ago, Garry paid a visit to the Narembeen farm and surrounds where he spent his childhood. On the trip he encountered a rare phenomenon, the white rainbow. It happened during a misty dawn on Emu Rock, a granite mass across the road from what used to be his family farm. This experience inspired a small series of paintings about the rainbow and other things that he saw that special morning.

Still Life
Garry usually uses garden subjects for still lives, mostly pot plants. He paints still lives partly because they are a tradition but mostly because he enjoys the intimacy and sensuality of the subjects he chooses. There are two, quite large treatments below, that are particularly successful in their depiction of colour, light and perspective and perhaps his most appealing still lives to date: Variegated and Blue Ginger.

Genre, Portrait & Landscape
Some of Garry’s output has resulted from commissions by acquaintances and friends. This is the case for Singing Like Piero’s Angels and the Sussex landscape below. In Der Tanz und das Ewig-Weibliche below, he is using colour to express the excitement of Brazilian drumming and dancing, while in Joy he experiments with poster tradition to make a statement about the energy of African dance. The upcoming exhibition also includes portraits of the children of friends and relatives as well as three landscapes from diverse places (away from Narembeen) as below.
