Not enough characters for the story behind this mashup! “The thinking man” on his farm (this family are beautiful, hilarious & loving). Commissioned by his son, for his Mum 🫶 #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australianartist #australianpainter #portraitpainter #portraitartist #portrait #painting

About to paint my BIGGEST commission ever! Plus a few others that are sizable. Can’t wait! #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australia #australianartist #silly #funny #australian #portraitartist #portraitpainting #portraits #customart #commissionsopen

These siblings are very rarely together at the same time, so I painted this to capture the moment! The sun is so bright on their skin 🤩 reference photo included! #portraitpainting #portraitartist #australianartist #australianpainter #portrait #artist #painting #australian #brisbane #realism

Mural complete! Strathmerton Primary School, Vic. They only have about 60 students! Koalas are always hanging out in their trees. Isn’t that lovely? 🐨 #australianartist #koala #australia #australianwildlife #artist #mural #muralist #muralartist #painting #realism #brisbaneartist #brisbane

The boy in the chair couldn’t be in the original photo, so the family never had a complete portrait to commemorate the day. I’m a real life Photoshopper, so I pulled this together using references provided by the client and an AI cane chair! More on this later #portraitartist #portrait #oilpainting

Here’s the close-up of my last post! Scroll back… I’m becoming an expert at tiny portraits (I didn’t see that coming!!) #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australianartist #australianpainter #portraitartist #portraitpainter #portraitpainting #portrait #weddingpainter #liveweddingpainting #weddingartist

Latest live wedding portrait!!! Started at the wedding and finished at home. Quite a big one! Beautiful venue on a lavender farm and winery ❤️ #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australianartist #australian #weddingpainting #livepainting #australianpainter #portraitpainting #portraitpainting #wedding

Follow up from my last post! I handed this the receiver in person 🫶🫶🫶 which is rare! Best “job” in the world. Not taking any of this for granted! #australianartist #australianart #brisbaneartist #brisbaneart #portraitpainter #portraitartist #australia #brisbane #realismart #painting

Latest mash-up! Portrait created from separate references. That’s grandma in the back, but she passed decades before her granddaughter was born 💕 Always a dream to paint these for people!! #australianartist #australianpainter #australianart #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australia #portrait #painting

Louan Walker @pencilheadart.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

THE JOURNEY! I’ve been an artist as long as I can remember… but the change over time is significant! Wonder what I’ll be doing in ten years?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s nice to look back… #australianartist #portraitartist #portraitpainter #portraitpainter #australian #portrait #brisbane #artist

I stopped painting and drawing dogs quite some time ago. In December I had a few requests and decided to do a few. Whaddya know, how fun! #australianartist #australianpainter #brisbane #australia #dogpainting #dogportrait

Mural painted at Barooga Sporties (my second home on the Murray River!) The brief? Modern 80s ⚡️ #brisbaneartist #brisbaneart #australianartist #australianart #australia #muralpainting #muralartist #muralist #streetart #streetartaustralia #australianstreetart #80s

I was raised by this show 😅 I love Katey Sagal! I’m keen to paint more late-night-fun-portraits. Smoking women (with an actual, old school burning ciggy) would be fun. Any ideas? 🙏 #brisbaneartist #australianartist #australia #portraitpainter #portraitartist #portraitpainting #portrait #artist

I live painted at the wedding of Mitch & Taylah last year, then finished it at home the following month. I’d love to get a few more in the calendar this year! #liveweddingpainting #portrait #weddingpainting #wedding #brideandgroom #brisbaneartist #australianartist #portraitartist #portraitpainting

This is a great example of what I can do with your sweet reference photos… just the normal ones - at home in pyjamas ❤️ I’m a real life Photoshopper 🙌 #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australianartist #australia #portraitpainter #portraitartist #portraitpainting #portrait #artist #commissionsopen

This was a 60th birthday gift for the surfer. Painted from an old photo! Less detail than my usual style, but I really enjoyed this! 30cm square, acrylic + oil #brisbaneartist #australianartist #australianlainter #brisbane #australia #surfing #oceanart #portraitpainter #portraitartist #queensland

Painted a life size, huge vault mural for MAW Money in Brisbane. Absolutely love a challenge like this! 🤗 super technical. I get lost painting details! #brisbaneartist #brisbane #australianartist #mural #muralart #australianmural #muralpainting #australianpainter #realism #realismart

Three Benny’s. This young Dad from my local community passed away far too soon. I painted one for each of his beautiful children ❤️ #brisbaneartist #australianartist #australianart #brisbaneart #brisbane #brisbanebusiness #portraitpainter #portraitpainting #portraitartist #portraiture #customart

True love. Aussie kitchen, 1970s. LOVE when you send me old photos to play with!! Dust them off and let’s make something special 🌼 #brisbaneartist #portraitartist #portraitpainting #portraitartistaustralia #australianartist #australianart #australianpainter #australianportraitartist #customart

This is a painting from an old photo, of an Australian couple from the 1970s. It features the old, retro style curtains, tiles, vase, and is painted on a natural linen canvas. The artist is holding the painting.
