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.

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’!

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!

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!

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’!

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!

This painting is the first of a new series painted from my son’s, James’, wonderful photos. I’ve loved working on this one!

Firstly, I’ll take this opportunity to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and Very Best Wishes for a safe and healthy 2016.
I thought this little painting would be appropriate this Christmas week, whilst thinking of those of you in the Southern Hemisphere just about to launch yourselves into the summer holidays.
On our jaunt down the east coast of Australia earlier this year, we visited some beautiful beach-side towns and we always make a point of wandering along the beaches. We spent a night in Lakes Entrance, a reasonably nice place in Victoria, but to me mostly memorable, due to the wonderful ‘Aussie’ hamburger I managed to scoff, complete with beetroot! The beach there was beautiful, with true golden sand and tiers of blue and green water, which, of course, captured my eye and had the camera clicking. Absolutely no surf though!

A different colour palette with this painting, which was I found a bit tricky as so many of my recent paintings have been in blues and greens. Strangely too, this painting hails from the lovely Chania in Crete, as did my previous one. There are so many beautiful little laneways packed with inviting restaurants and bars there, so plenty of exploring required.
