Sandstone Inspiration 3

AB-05_SandstoneInspiration3

This mixed media canvas forms part of a new series for me.  This is the 3rd of 3 small paintings which were inspired by my photos of some of the amazing sandstone rock formations that can be found along the Australian coastline. This one was at Curl Curl, Sydney.  These 3 paintings could be hung together to form a triptych.

Details of this painting can be found in Gallery – Abstracts.

Bougainvillea Pathway, Skopelos

BouganvilliaPath_Skopelos

I stumbled across this lovely bougainvillea covered pathway, or set of steps, whilst staying in Skopelos last year.  The pink doorway at the top just seemed to set off the petals amongst the patterns of filtered light.

Art Weekly 166 – Sissi Reflections, Crete

AW-166_SissiReflections_Crete

20th January 2016 –

Its a cold wet winter’s day here in Greece, so its nice to add something a little more cheerful to remind myself what’s in store! We spent the night in Sissi a while back. Its a small town on the north coast of Crete and it had all the criteria for a great little Greek stop-over – lots of tavernas, bright blue water and reflections!

This painting is a little smaller than usual as it forms part of my #100 Painting Challenge in which I’m trying different techniques and mediums. This painting however, somehow managed to turn out in my ‘usual style’!

Art Weekly 165 – Bologna Portico

AW-165_BolognaPortico-800
13th January 2016 –

Bologna, Italy again. I really love this city although it always seems that when we start off in southern Italy, or this time, Sicily, by the time we arrive in Bologna, autumn is always waiting for us. Still, with Bologna’s 40 kilometres of porticoes, what better place to have a little inclement weather!

Beneath the Sea

OC-03_Beneath the Sea

A painting based on another of my son, James’ photos.  It was taken at a popular surfing spot near Manly in Sydney, called Winki Pop!  I always used to enjoy standing on the cliff top above when the waves were huge, watching the surfers, and had never given any thought to what was underneath on a calm day!

Underfoot #3

Underfoot3

This mixed media painting, one of a pair, was inspired by photographs I took of some wonderful rock formation whilst I was staying in Tinopai, New Zealand a few years ago.  The rocks were just near the water’s edge, and although I have accentuated the colours, it was the blues and oranges that caught my eye!

I call this series ‘Underfoot’ as over the years I seem to have developed a habit of taking photos of what I’m standing or walking on, if there’s something that catches my eye, hence ‘underfoot’!

South Coast Shorebreak

South Coast Shorebreak

I believe this shot was taken at Invadda Beach, on the NSW South Coast of Australia and is another of James’ photos. I’m really enjoying painting these as it’s such different subject matter from my usual European ones – believe it or not though, the technique is very similar, just without the straight lines and ink!
