24.01.2022 Blue Ripples_3 - 60cm x 60cm x 1.8cm
23.01.2022 In Black & White Based upon some of my previous background designs; this work was produced utilising white dots on a black background. If you look closely at the painting; circles should appear.
23.01.2022 Rings of Time - 40.5cm x 30.5cm x 1.8cm - $450 Available on Bluethumb Reminiscent of growth rings on a tree, my painting utilises free form stick drawn circular shapes that are respectfully intended to highlight and celebrate the thousands of years of Australian Aboriginal Art.
22.01.2022 Sunrise Dreaming - Approx Size = 133cm x 66cm x 4cm - $3300 Life is often a challenge; the sunrise brings a new day and new hope. The beautiful morning sky is there to remind us all of the bigger picture, that life is a gift, and that we all must embrace the moment; look after ourselves and others. Looking optimistically to the future is a human trait; and is needed in these times of despair and unprecedented change. My painting symbolically represents the dawn, the colours are cheerful and set the scene for a brighter future that is surely to come for all.

19.01.2022 Willy Willy (Dust Devil) - By Greg Matthews The conditions are right, I’m in a spin and ready for flight. I twist and turn and attract things light.

My painting depicts a frozen moment in time when leaves appear suspended in the spiralling swirl of a willy Willy

10.01.2022 Killiecrankie Dreaming_1 Acrylic Paint, Ready to hang 75.5cm (W) x 60cm (H) x 1.8cm (D)... This painting is Inspired by my visit to Flinders Island, Tasmania, and my fruitless attempt to find the elusive so called killiecrankie diamonds. It is also a reminder of the main reason for my trip to the island, my pilgrimage to Wybalenna; to show respect, and to view first hand the final resting place of many of our Aboriginal Elders/Ancestors, The restored Chapel, the Cemetery and remnants of the demolished accommodation areas at Wybalenna were all emotional places to visit, and I could feel the presence of our ancestors during my visit there. The central area of my painting represents Flinders Island/Wybalenna; it forms the shape of a ships steering wheel (helm); the outer central area represents the multi-coloured diamonds (topaz) that I dreamed of finding; and beyond that; is a circular area of diamonds one for each of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Nations, the diamonds are deposited there by constant erosion and water flow from the Killiecrankie Mountain to the sea that separates Flinders Island from the Tasmanian mainland. The outer circles on my painting represent the Nine Tasmanian Aboriginal Nations, and the painting perimeter depicts the oceans that surround Tasmania.

06.01.2022 Mother Country_2 - Available For Sale on Bluethumb - $1350.00 Acrylic Paints on a Stretched Canvas Frame - 60cm x 60cm x 1.8cm The Australian Aboriginal people have always respected the land, animals; and its waterways; we were and remain intrinsically connected to the environment in which we live. The Aboriginal People of Australia have been the custodians of the land and waterways for thousands of years; they understood the importance of sustainability; and were aware that ...the land provided everything for our very existence, that’s why sustainability has always been; and remains so important to us. The array of colours and shapes detailed on my painting symbolically represent the land that is so precious to all Aboriginal people; and on which all Australians live. See more
