Description: This watercolour painting is special as it is a compilation of memories rather than a true depiction of the Snowy Mountains, NSW. We went down there for a holiday 2010 and stayed at the caravan park which is just inside the national park area. The cabin was lovely and it snowed two days in a row down at the caravan park! Yes great memories :)
Description: Acrylic on canvas of an old truck in a paddock near our home here in the Lockyer Valley. The shed in the background is also disused and falling apart. Weeds abound. Just in need of some love :) and hard work perhaps :D Featured in Painters Universe 8th March 2012 Featured in Country Bumpkin 9th March 2012
Description: Genesis heat set oils on stretched canvas 30x 40cm. This painting makes me smile, not quite sure why, but it does. Anyway, it grew from 2 photos and a sense of adventure. The background with the old buildings depicts our past and the horse taking flight represents us escaping from the haunts of our past.
Description: Genesis heat set oils on stretched canvas 30cm x 40cm. This is based on a photo of a little girl in her ballerina outfit from the wetcanvas reference library. My aim wasn't to get a perfect likeness but rather to create a mood and feeling. I love how it turned out in the end. Sometimes I get to a point in a painting where I see something I like and know that I must stop even if according to my plan it might not be finished. That happened with this.
Description: Going for a walk in the garden and stopping to admire the flowering pelargoniums brings me so much joy. These are watercolour paintings of the red pelargoniums. They are so bright and cheerful but at the same time peaceful. I love how they turned out. My hope is that you too will love them.
Description: ‘In The Morning Light’ is the result of coming across a gorgeous reference photo in the wetcanvas reference library, so a big thank you to JEFrantz for the reference photo. What attracted me to the photo reference in the first instance was the lovely light throughout the picture. It so looks like a scene in early morning light. The main colours are all the blues and then for a bit of variation the pink and some green. And of course the browns in the floor and window sill. I’m very pleased how this painting worked out. :)
Description: This painting of mine hangs above my computer desk, and I love it! Anyways, I thought you all might like to enjoy it as well. I painted it in acrylics a few years ago. It was inspired by a visit to Australia Zoo when our children were much younger and this emu peaked over their enclosure fence. So curious. I didn't trust him to not peck me though. To fit the image nicely on the device cases I cropped the image a little. Check out the greeting cards to find it there also.
Description: Our geese are the inspiration for this painting. The geese are a fascinating creature and sitting on our steps watching them is a pleasant and relaxing activity. Unfortunately though the yard where our geese reside is not very pleasing to the eye, there are bushes and just a netting fence around it. The pond is not big either. So when one morning the light and shadows were really lovely I took some photos and then proceeded to give our geese a nicer environment, at least in theis painting. The distance background is true to life just not the forground setting. The goslings under the middle goose were actually our geese when they were babies :) Genesis heat set oils on 40cm x 30cm stretched canvas. Featured Painting the country life an...
