Trixie


I decided to really get out of my comfort zone 
And paint Trixie 

She’s not too bad. Ok for a first try I think 




There is an app that changes you photos in lots of different ways. 

This was the inspiration  



I know it’s far from perfect but I’m happy with it
At least it looks like a dog, I hope

Stockdale sunset





After having a big break from art, I decided on something simple 

I took this picture at our farm. 

Waited for the perfect light and mix of colours 

I think it turned out ok.

Two for one

This first one gave me so much anxiety and anguish I nearly just threw it away. 

Judie, our art teacher, just put it quietly away so that I couldn’t see it. 

We began our next paint, and last week she brought it out again 

I did a little bit last week. And I finished it today. 

I’m much happier with it now 



The latest painting is of Uluṟu (Ayer’s rock)
This was a much happier project. 

I just kept painting and I didn’t freak out at all lol

So that’s why it’s been so long between posts. 
I hope you like them.

Kilcunda bridge





Photo was taken during the Aurora in may. The bridge is less than an ours drive from my house I’ve past if many times 

It was hard getting the colours just right. In the end we just went with what looked good. You cannot match Mother Nature 

For us this was a quick project. Taking about four or five weeks 
Now the hunt begins for the next project

Giants causeway


It has taken many hours but it’s finally done 
I was so excited to get to the giants causeway. It was a bucket list tick. And to now having painted it. Well I’m very happy 

I hope you like it

Tooradin foreshore





Well it’s done. This has taken months. We started it in November. To be fair. We did stop classes over Christmas. But still. So many little details. 
Not perfect. But then again neither am I 

Our teacher was very proud of us and that’s good enough for me

Sunset over water


This one took weeks and weeks. 
I learnt so much.  
As always stand back and squint. 
It looks better that way 

I’ll sign it next week. As it was too wet
