Like my early tutor, William Robinson, I have strong faith. In his work the spiritual journey of life is translated through the landscapes and bush that he knows so well - in my own way that journey is through the suburban inner city landscape I grew up in and know well.
The falls, failings, aspirations and discoveries are there in symbols - staircases and roads, open verandahs; some barred and fenced in, deserted, or with a thoughtful chair waiting for someone to sit and think.
The light poles are new life, new directions. I rarely paint flat areas as this journey is mostly uphill or sidelined into deadends. Above all though, is the transforming light of hope and change - Brisbane, my home town, is just my canvas for the story.
As to style, it has just evolved naturally , though I have always been a draughtsman - the initial drawing on the canvas is vital to the composition. Line is an intrinsic part of my work.
Looking back I can see line has been important to all my favourite artists of the past - Van Gogh, Utrillo, Degas, and Lautrec. I am definitely not a fauvist! My new book is a compilation of many of my paintings of Brisbane over the last ten years, plus some favourites from the book.
It is a ramble through the back streets, and backyards, of Brisbane inner city suburbs. The sub tropical colours and light here are unique - the great flaming poincianas, purple jacarandas, and rampant red bougainvilleas contrast with tin roofs in traditional reds and greens, as well as modern silver and white. All the places and stories in paintings and books are real and can be found if you look. Old and new, past present and future.

He had some games after that, I plan to do that as well. But this is for the biggest stage, so I was honoured to play against Peter in the last one.
I was also happy to win, and Anders showed me a lot of respect today and I am really thankful for that. There were emotional scenes throughout the match, ending with a tearful standing ovation from everyone in the arena at match point. Jorgensen, after a flat exchange, pushed the shuttle out the back and immediately threw his racket to the floor.
As the two stars embraced at the net and exchanged shirts, Jorgensen could not hold back the tears. Speaking about how special it was to have this moment in front of this crowd, he stated. I am really thankful for everybody who has been involved in my career, from sponsors to coaches, to everyone.
Jan O Jorgensen has won a lot in the game, from this tournament ten years ago, to the French, Indonesia and China Open, to multiple European medals including the gold in and the World bronze in Asked if he can begin to put all of these incredible memories into a book, he answers. Of course, I have some interesting stories, so we will see. Jan O Jorgensen after securing his spot in the quarterfinal had a beer to celebrate. Discussing his immediate plans now and long-term ones for the future, he says.
So, I am going to spoil my friends. Then next week I am going to play a lot of golf, then I really do not know what is going to happen. Jorgensen goes on to explain how he wants to temporarily get away from the sport that has been such a big part of his life. I am not afraid of studying or starting something new, but I want to have a break with badminton. I feel obligated to have something to do with it in the future, but for now, I would like a little break to not stay in the same environment I have been in literally my whole adult life.
