He is well sought after in Australia, United States, New Zealand and leads art tours to Europe. Colley has been awarded numerous art prizes over the span of his career. His highlights being 1st prizes in Queensland, Sydney & Melbourne. He sees himself as a painter of light, aiming to paint with precision to convey the purest message possible and striving to capture spontaneous loose impressions each time he returns to his easel. He is at his happiest professionally when he is painting full of confidence using his brush like Zorro would wield his trusty sword, dashing in marvellous darks, highlights and rendering each painting with as much skill and accuracy as possible. He loves nothing more than the challenge of pushing himself to find new subjects to paint. He is honoured to carry the tag as one of Australia’s finest young Impressionist painters. Colley has a strong belief that he is not copying nature but giving expression to visual ideas. \r\n www.colleywhisson.com \r\n Copyright 2016 |
