CATCHING THE RATTLER – ALL STATIONS TO THE CITY (circa 1970s) – Artist Jeff Quigley

Catching the Rattler, All stations to the city (circa 1970s) … This work was inspired from my memories of being one of the thousands of commuter cattle that boarded the Red Rattlers each working day morning to make our way to the City (Sydney NSW). The station portrayed is my home station Gymea on the Cronulla Line.

Catching the Rattler, All stations to the city (circa 1970s) is Framed and is acrylic on canvas, a large painting 70cm x 50cm. It is my latest work which has now been accepted into the new exhibition at the Emu Park Art Gallery which opened June the 17th.

THE DREAM IS SHATTERED, SORRY DR KING – Artist Jeff Quigley

…. SOLD …. SOLD …. SOLD …

The Dream Is Shattered, Sorry Dr King is the title of this piece.

The Dream Is Shattered, Sorry Dr King is Framed and is an acrylic on canvas, a painting 50cm x 40cm. It is my latest work and will be hung in the next exhibition at the Emu Park Art Gallery. The next exhibition will be opening on approximately the 11th June.

Martin Luther King is one of the most inspirational men of my lifetime. It was such a shame that he was taken so early and taken in the very tragic American way. He was assassinated.

The United States of America could certainly do with a lot more of his type and his type of leadership right now.

There is a very dangerous imbecile lurking again and one who looks to threaten the democracy of his own country.

HIGH-RISE COMETH THE PRECEDENT IS SET – Artist Jeff Quigley

…. SOLD …. SOLD …. SOLD …

High-Rise Cometh, The Precedent Is Set is the title of this piece.
The beautiful coastal town of Emu Park of which I reside in and have done so for 37 years is about to change forever with the recently approved first ever development of a six storey high rise complex.

In a narrow four votes to three the local Council approved of supporting this development application. No doubt more high-rise will quickly follow as the precedent has now been set.

This painting depicts my feelings on the development and my concerns for the future of the township. The four Livingstone Shire councilors that voted for this are depicted in my work. They are from left to right, Councilor Adam Belot, Mayor Andy Ireland, Councilor Pat Eastwood and Councilor Glenda Mather

HEAVY LANDING BEFORE THE SHORE BREAK – Artist Jeff Quigley

This one has gone to a good home…

Heavy Landing Before the Shore Break is the title of this piece. I started this painting as a wave break crashing over rocks and eventually added some gulls, then I decided on a pelican or two. I got a bit off script but that is how things go with my paintings.

Again, sorry about the quality of the photos. One day I will get it right. I believe the painting looks a lot better in real view than the in the Quigley Camera work.

Heavy Landing Before the Shore Break is Framed and is an acrylic on canvas, a large painting 88cm x 58cm. It is my latest work and hopefully will be hung in the next exhibition at the Emu Park Art Gallery. The next exhibition will be opening in early February.
All my paintings will be for sale.

This one has gone to a good home…

Follow The River is the title of this work. I changed course with this one as I progressed. This happens frequently with me and “painting”.

Follow The River is Framed and is an acrylic on canvas, a large painting 88cm x 58cm. It is my latest work and hopefully will be hung in the next exhibition at the Emu Park Art Gallery. The next exhibition will be opening on the 14th November.

I Stopped These – Artist Jeff Quigley

“I stopped these”, it is a unframed work, acrylic on canvas, and is 60cm x 45cm.

I’ve titled this one “I stopped these”. My dedication to two beautiful young girls who with their parents just want to live and enjoy life with their friends in Biloela.

Millions and millions of dollars later this cruel and meaningless detention still continues. It is good to know that things will change post election.
