Never Ending Steps To The Top.. Latest artwork by Jeff Quigley

I decided to have a bit of fun with this one and incorporated the illusory effect of the “Penrose Stairs”. You never reach the top (let your eyes follow the steps).

Those that are unlucky enough to know me will know my feelings about the subject matter involved within this work and the said steps.

17 years is a long time to wait to win something but who is counting. I know I am and enjoying it and hope that it continues. I mean what is one more year?

FOGGY MORNING RUN.. Latest artwork by Jeff Quigley – Another painting finished

Foggy Morning Run … Firstly, my apologies for the quality of the photo. I had hell to play trying to get a decent shot. Photography and camera work is definitely not my forte.

Re this painting: One of the many voices inside my head was requesting another fog inspired piece. Well, finally, this is it. I lost count of many joyous hours I spent doing this “Foggy”. (50 to 60 hours at least) But I can honestly say that the grass areas on the side of the track were done at least 8 times including 3 complete paint overs. It is a wonder the neighbours did not report the foul language to the local constabulary.

This one has gone to a good home…

My inspiration as was for my previous painting ‘YES, and be on the right side of History’ is because of my strong belief that it is 2023 and the time is now to recognize that this continent was not and never was Terra Nullius (vacant land – no one living here) and we should therefore enshrine in our constitution an Indigenous voice to parliament.

At this point in our history it is not dividing us but revealing us, who we are.

It’s Time We Walked, Framed acrylic on canvas, a large painting 70cm x 50cm.

Today (June 17, 2024) I received a lovely letter along with a Certificate of Appreciation from Carol Godwin, CEO-Anglicare CQ. Back in May I offered my artwork ‘It’s Time We Walked’ to AnglicareCQ via Rev. William Oates who happens to be the father of fellow Emu Park Art Gallery Member, the very talented Kate Oates.

‘YES, and be on the right side of History’ – Latest artwork by 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 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 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 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.
