Thank you for visiting my on line gallery. It is still being updated, so if you like what you see, come back and have a look at new works in the future.
This section is a selection of new works from my exhibition ‘Being There’ which was held at the Mechanic’s Institute Moruya in May 2012 as part of the annual ‘River of Art’ Festival .
As well as the works shown below, some of my original art work from the Eurobodalla Food and Art Guide was also exhibited.
Almost all of my art work is done in situ, and has an immediacy and hopefully a sense of ‘being there’. There is a short time-lapse video of the process on the ‘artist‘ page.
The landscapes, even the large canvases are all initiated and the colours realised on site. This is possible because of my working methods using traditional soft pastels and a quick drying medium. A combination of solid pastel strokes and transparent glazes using pastel pigment with acrylic medium allows me to put down colours as I experience them in place. The ambient light while the work is in progress is naturally incorporated into the painting.

Thanks John,
Still early days but I’m almost off my trainer wheels.
What a creative family, you and Christine; I am captivated by your paintings and unique color schemes and art lines. Lucky you getting help with the Website; will you loan Christine to me for awhile; Napkinwriter owns her webaddress but needs to actually develop the website; haven’t much of a clue.
Hi Napkinwriter,
I have been known to draw on napkins as well! Thanks for your comments, not sure I can do without Christine for any length of time as I am pretty clueless as well when it comes to websites.

Your work is superb. I love the use of your colors and form. Beautiful! I especially like your landscapes, but I’ve always been partial to the magnificence of the great outdoors!
Christine is a lucky woman, to be married to such a talented man!
Ooh! I like so many of these all for different reasons!! I love the Kelly’s Pool triptych – each panel complete in itself (the movement of the water in the centre is brilliant). I think ‘Through the Casuarinas’ and ‘The space Between’ are my faves. Terrific layers, colour, shapes and texture – so intriguing, wonderful pieces, they really make me explore them. Best wishes for your exhibition Stuart
And ‘Twist in Space’ is lovely with its softness and embedded arcs and angles. Great!!
Congrats on the exhibition and your new website Stuart! Even if it meant giving up Christine for a bit, LOL! How nice she could assist! Love your work! Margie
Stuart, what happened to your lovely painting, “Dancing Forest”? I fell in love with your style and the color blue when I first saw it – and no idea what was yet to come!
Hi bj,
‘Dancing forest’ almost found a new home a couple of weeks ago, but the people liked 2 others better. So it’s back in the storeroom.
I hope to get back in the canoe after the exhibition to do some more on the water- it is hard work but so rewarding.
Hello Stuart! I found you! Via Toby, who knows Freya Blackwood, whose publisher I am! Good old facebook …
Your paintings of trees are more glorious than ever. The one you gave me a million years ago is still on the wall (it’s a different wall, now, though).
Hi Margrete,
What a delightful surprise! I love to hear about the homes of old paintings. If you can, send me a pic (stuartwhitelaw@gmail.com) so I can remember it.
Send me some news of you and yours when you get a chance, and if you are ever on the South Coast come and visit!
