Love your naive style, because I fall in love with the simplest things in life. I read your biography and it's a pleasure to meet someone who really worked hard inside your great Country~, which I never visited, because of the too many hours closed in a plane. These people waiting for the train, seem to be great friends, giving hand in hand. My 5 stars and all my best, Isaura

Hi Edward, I love this whimsical outback painting. The subject matter is so Aussie. Reminds me a bit of Birdsville after the races are over and people are leaving town. Packed up the Ackubra and the Drizabones and heading back to the "big smoke".
I love the Aussie colours you have used.
Hope you have a good Australia day.. I'm spending mine on the couch.. Bugger the BBQ! It's total fire ban anyway!! 5***** Kerry

Colourful and typical of the 'Outback' small town people, waiting for the bus. Haphazardly leaning over the fence, and 'yarning' with your neighbour! Love the rustic reds greens and browns. The midget people are fabulous, and full of character too! Love the general expression of 'waiting in anticipation' for The Bus is Coming! Really 'down to earth'! 5***** Regards angela

Artist Statement
for EJCairns
EJCairnsA little background on myself;

Brought up in the Gold mining town of Kalgoorlie Western Australia, I now live in the Perth Darling Range W.A. and have done so for a number of years. Although, my heart is in the Australian outback, I venture back to the bush when possible. Painting and Art has been a passion for as long as I can remember.

The experiences and journeys into the great Aussie outback have given me a deep insight and respect for the people who choose to work and live their lives in the mighty Australian Bush. I too have lived and worked in some of the most remote places in our great land. My experiences and travel range between the coast and the centre of our great land.

In particular the colors of the inland and its desert have left a colorful impression.

This upbringing stands me in good stead to draw from my experiences and the colors to put brush to canvas and paint images of our great outback.

My paintings will vary depending on the inspirations that come to mind Eg; Naïve; Abstract; Impressionism; Mining; legends and characters of the Australian Bush. I try to capture the Aussie sense of humor. It’s an integral part of the outback character, with a happy go lucky, she'll be right Mate outlook on life.

Influences;

Claude Monet; Pro Hart; Brett Whitley; Salvador DALÍ; Sidney Nolan

( Worldwide Art Distribution Aust )

Edward’s Unique Works are Whimsical, Imaginative, Impulsive and Slightly Odd in a Playfully Humorous Style.
EJCairns is a professional Western Australian Artist his works are displayed in private collections Australia wide. There is also a strong International interest in his typical Australian outback character creations.

Current Achievements;

I have been chosen to be published in the January 2010 Number 82 Edition of the Australian Artist's Palette Magazine. I am proud to have been awarded the first place winner in this prestigious Magazine.

My work was voted the Peoples Choice in a recent Fremantle Exhibition

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed expressing my experiences and visions though Art.

Yours Sincerely; Aka EJCairns
