It seems as though we blinked this year and #christmas is now upon us, and a vastly different Christmas experience at that.
With our usual end of year markets & exhibits are not taking place, we are making the most of online platforms (and studio visits by appointment) to offer unique and thoughtful gift opportunities for your loved ones (or yourself, you deserve it!)
We are kicking off December with 20% off the displayed price on all Limited Edition Canvas Prints. This will be applied automatically storewide at checkout but if you have any issues please message or contact 0423375765. Hereโs a small selection of some of the beautiful works on sale โ๐ผโค๏ธ๐จ
Thank-you to all of those who took advantage of our Black Friday (weekend) Sales. We were overwhelmed with the response. The original artworks are packaged, waiting to be couriered. DJWโs publisher is madly printing the limited edition canvas giclee prints to be signed, coated and sent out to their new homes.

This panel of the artwork slowly made its way home, most recently being gifted back to Donald by fellow artist, Kel Nielsen after selling his property. It is now proudly hung from the mezzanine in Donโs new studio like it was painted to fit! Fancy that! โ๐ผโค๏ธ๐จ

This is my publisher Scott from @originpublishingโบ๏ธ We have worked together for 18 years now! โค๏ธ
He began reproducing my artworks after HRH Queen Elizabeth II selected 2 of my paintings displayed at Novotel for CHOGM for The Royal Art Collection.
Scott has revolutionised the print process and won many awards for being the best in his field. There are many processes involved to get to the stage photographed but this is my favourite -
I get to put a piece of myself onto every limited edition print by painting my signature in acrylic, hand signing & numbering and giving my blessing before they are sent off to their new homes.

Happy birthday Amy! It was a pleasure to create this keepsake for you ๐What an awesome gift idea!
Amy was blown away with this one, I was struggling for a gift idea (I like to be sneaky and innovative) but a quick chat with Donald James Waters OAM sorted that out instantly.
The amazing man created a canvas with Amy as the feature for her 40th birthday celebrations. Then all our beautiful friends personalised it with messages and love.
I am so happy that Don created this for us, but no where near as happy as Amy is right now.
Thank you to all our wonderful friends who came and celebrated with us last night you made the day amazing and we couldnโt be happier to have spent our day with such an amazing bunch of friends we love each and everyone of you thank you for everything you do to make all of our days happy.๏ฟผ

It looks gorgeous and wonderfully vibrant
Thoroughly enjoying all the commissioned artworks Iโve been involved with recently. Itโs such an honour to create artworks in commemoration/celebration of significant events; capturing memories, locations and personalities to be proudly displayed and passed down through the family for years to come.
Hereโs one Iโm putting the finishing touches on today... I hope they love it as much as I loved creating it โ๐ผโค๏ธ๐จ
