There’s a reason I keep coming back to painting the iconic Australian cattle dog - Kelpies — they’re smart, loyal, and carry that unmistakable Aussie grit. This piece captures a classic moment: ears pricked, tongue out, and eyes full of curiosity, as if waiting for the next job. The vibrant red background brings intensity and focus, echoing the kelpie’s working energy and unshakable spirit. I’ve used bold lines, layered colour, and raw mark-making to reflect the drive and heart these dogs carry. If you’ve ever known a kelpie, you’ll feel it in this one — all instinct, loyalty, and presence.

Through the use of mixed media, combining acrylics, spray, enamel and intermittent use of oil paints I let my subject emerge from a rich and deeply layered base. The dimensional texture that masterfully unveils each layer, lets the bright colours play in harmony and contrast with each other.
This artwork is created on 380gsm 100% cotton canvas and finished with a double coat UV resistant, high gloss varnish to protect the integrity and longevity of the painting. Stretched and ready to hang, using gallery-grade hanging wire, this artwork is completed with a custom-crafted floating frame made from Tasmanian oak. I have signed this original painting on the front and back, with its title and date written on the rear of the canvas.
Price includes shipping Australia wide. Please contact me for international shipping.
This is a limited edition print run of the original painting '
Can We Do It Again
', with each print hand-signed by myself. I work closely with a Gippsland-based boutique printing studio to ensure the highest print quality. This print uses archival inks on 300gsm archival cotton rag paper or canvas, for a rich and textual look.
