Self portrait of Ross Townsend

Title: Self portrait

Size: 65 x 80cm

I am a resident of the ACT and have been painting since 1987.

The early Australian Impressionists, in particular Sir Arthur Streeton, have inspired my work. I have painted with Reginald Campbell - one of today's great Australian artists - and have been strongly influenced by his work.

My paintings are exhibited regularly in Canberra, mainly at the Four Corners Framing Gallery at Woden Plaza and Aarwun Gallery, Federation Square. I have won several first prizes in previous Canberra Show exhibitions.

My painting skills have developed and I now enjoy the challenge of painting portrait commissions and still life subjects.

The catalogue shows examples of my work. Please feel free to browse through these realistic traditional original paintings, and to then contact me should you be interested in a commission.
