  Featured works: 
  
  

  All works are oil paintings on stretched canvas, and are listed in the same order as the images shown above.
  
  Your Shirt (2010) - 1220 x 920 mm - a "scraped-back" oil painting, kept by the artist in his own home for the past 16 years.
  
  Quite Bookish (2015) - 1220 x 920 mm - caught reading at the beach.
  
  Wendy on the Whanganui (2019) - 1220 x 920 mm - inspired by a canoe trip on the Whanganui River, when three women on the trip chose the "posh option" of being paddled, accommodated, fed and wined. The Rumball family affectionately called them "the Wendies". 
  
  White Lorry (2021) - 1220 x 920 mm - a painting about the misery of war in central Europe, as observed in their landscapes and records. 
  
  Shushing Chagall (2023) - 1220 x 920 mm - now and again the artist includes himself in a favourite painting. Shushing Chagall is Tony’s tongue in cheek take on one of Marc Chagall’s fiddler-on-the-roof works. Here Tony stands to the left of the scene, gesturing with one finger at the music making fiddler. 
  
  Still Farming (2026) - 1220 x 920 mm
  
  A Peasant Dawdling Near Agincourt (2026) - 920 x 1220 mm- Charolais cattle (a French breed) have been grazing beside Tony's house. These cattle seem to have meandered into a scene from a Shakespearean play about the 1415 Battle of Agincourt between England and France.
