Ooh La La is an oil on box gallery canvas and painted around the outside continuing the image.
Exhibited at the Hot Ginger Gallery, Kerikeri during February 2010.

Camille had wandered down to Piggale to listen to the sailors play their music and enjoy their last night in Paris. She sat on one of the barrels outside of the Tavern and drank some wine and just drifted away. It had been a hard week at the Moulin Rouge where she looked after the dancers, dressing them in all of their finery, and wishing that one day she would be on that stage dancing.

Off to the Talkies

As they casually saunter through the lobby of the Hotel, 
No one would guess that these two young ladies had
Carefully saved their wages at the dress shop and diner
So that they could be part of the jet set for just a few days and go to the cinema to see the first talking movie

Painted on all sides so ready to hang.

SOLD to Vincent Holly - Netherlands
Just to let you know, I have received the paintings. They′re great, even better than on the photos.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Vincent Holly

Art Deco style oil painting on canvas.
Courtenay is a lady who just loves to shop. A woman of means who delights in the feeling of being free to savour her desire for decadence.

She strikes a pose in her world of glamour
To claim her place and his hearts enamour
Always on top and in the vogue
No time for wasters or a handsome rogue
Is she for real or is she a fake
One things for certain she will make his heart ache.
Courtenay

Awarded ″Highly Commended″ at the Wax Womens Art Awards in Gisborne, New Zealand.

Being exhibited at The Art Boutique Tauranga

In Xanadu did Kublai Khan 
A pleasuredome erect
Moving at one million miles an hour
Using my power
I sent it by the hour
I have it so I′m mocking it
You really can afford it
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Moving on
Keep moving on
I will give you diamonds by the shower
Love your body even when it′s old
Do it just as only I can do it
And never ever doing what I′m told
Pay love and life
Long way from home

WELCOME TO THE PLEASUREDOME

Absinthe. Art Deco style oil painting on canvas.
Shes out on the prowl, shes ready to take
Shes looking for feelings, some real and some fake
The night is so dark it surrounds all her senses
She feels the chill air, it deepens defences
She sips on her Absinthe and inhales the sweet scent
Tonight will be different she will not lament
Some hapless soul will fall foul of the deed
Unwittingly drawn in by desire and need
Her lust will abound and take control
And tonight, at midnight, there is no parole. Print Available - Email Your Request

Horror Scope is oil on canvas representing the Zodiac.

Depicts the horrors or pleasures of daily life as seen through astrology. The tough descend on the weak, the heroic deeds done every day, the battle to just get through each day ready to face the next. Will today be a good day 
My horoscope says so!

Tres Chic was exhibited at the ILLUSTRATE 08 Exhibition at the PixelInk Gallery, Wellington between 15th and 24th December 2008.

To make a grand entrance one thing you must do
Is check that the world is ready for you
Lipstick in place and powder on cheeks
The movie producer knows just what he seeks.

Belle Bugatti is an oil on box gallery canvas. 
A beautiful woman, exquisitely fair,
Walks up to the car with an inquisitive air,
The driver is missing, a passenger to seek,
Would he notice for one second if she just took a peek,
She looks all around her and then makes her play,
And sits in the passenger seat, and here she will stay.

Tamara de Lempicka is an oil on box gallery canvas.

Haughty, aloof, elegant and cool
Erotic and sensuous, no ones fool
Femme Fatale of the interwar years
Wealthy patrons she painted for years
Art and Society are equal together
The Art Deco Queen, she will be forever..

She sits alone, takes in the view
Venice at sunset, in a golden hue
Her heart is heavy, She misses him dearly 
She can see his face so clearly.

Calla Lily. 
The touch of petals so soft and milky
The fall of her hair on shoulders so silky
Her lips coloured red through sips of the wine
Her eyes tightly shut with the thrill so divine
The moon becomes shy upon seeing this passion
And hides its face behind clouds in a fashion
She breathes in the scent of the lillies around her
And inwardly gasps, shes in love, it surrounds her.. Print Available - Email Your Request
