Above see Syd Mather on the verandah of the (one-time) Coco's Noosa restaurant, during his one person exhibition there, in December 1994. (Coco's was situated opposite the entrance gate to Noosa National Park).



Oil painting about Sturt Desert Pea by Syd Mather





Sturt Desert Pea, an oil painting on stretch Belgian linen by Australian painter Syd Mather. This artwork has held prominence on the main wall of a Federal Government Hq. boardroom since May 1998.

Maritime Art:
Giclee on canvas about sailing ships by Ian Hansen
Ian HANSEN F.R.A.S., A.S.M.A.(Aust) - Australia's foremost marine painter. One of the top 20 maritime painters world-wide. His works are exhibited at the famous Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut USA. The Young Masters Gallery staged a very successful exhibition of this artists original oil paintings in the Riverside Centre Foyer, Eagle Street, Brisbane in 1990. The gallery has commissioned paintings according to customers wishes, directly from the artist since 1980. To view Young Masters Gallery samples of Ian Hansen original oil paintings click HERE

(Wind, wave, design, sail, yaw and pitch of vessel must be thoroughly understood by an artist to be a master painter of sailing vessels).

Illustrated to the right is the sailing ship Aristides, of the Aberdeen White Star Line. Click HERE to view or purchase handsigned and numbered limited edition digital Giclee prints on canvas from this artist through his authorized print publisher in Paxtonia Penn., USA.



Starting an Investment Art Portfolio:

It is suggested that that you may start an art collection by purchasing initially, limited edition original works of art on paper.

(We have much experience in, and understanding of, this art category. This comes through satisfying a big Brisbane CBD market with Australian and imported British and American original fine art etchings, mezzotints, serigraphs and lithographs throughout the 1980's. In addition, we in fact, pioneered complex modern conservation framing for the optimum presentation of such works, in Brisbane, 15 years before it came to be accepted as mainstream in Queensland. We designed and ordered hundreds of complex frame designs. Abel Framing did the manufacture and assembly. Abel Framing still does framing for us and handles all our packing and delivery for artists commissions interstate and world-wide).

We illustrate the works of some of the greatest names in Australian art, (as also British art): click HERE.
(PS: Such artworks appreciate in value in much the same way as do oil paintings or similar from the same artists.
Video Art:

Created by Tom Draper, the enchanting environmental DVD about the Headland Section of Noosa National Park. Entitled: "It's Only Natural". Tom required 3 years and 4,000 hours of shooting and editing to complete the project. It was entirely self-funded. Local Noosa icon, musician and composer Barry Charles, contributed the music. Original sound captured on location is integrated with music and voice-over recorded both on location and in the studio. Sub-titles were co-ordinated with Doctor Arthur Harrold. VIDEOPRO Brisbane provided extensive technical support in the person of Dave Thompson.

The DVD has been well received by resort managers. It can make a great gift for friends and family in many countries, particularly Germany, United Kingdom and New Zealand to name a few. To view 30 video stills from the production click HERE (1500 kbps preferred).
