Finished, freshly varnished and now for sale sold. Click here if you missed the original post about this painting.
I’ve listed a couple of other paintings ― two I’m rather fond of that I painted last year. Both are available via Etsy or directly from me.
Yes, another phone-photo has received the Photoshop treatment. I really like the reflections in the wet sand. So far, so good…
The really long title is also a haiku. I’m thinking it may be the first of a series of mini canvas + haiku combinations.
The painting is based on another phone-camera image edited in Photoshop. Good old Photoshop!
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse stands where the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet. I posted the photograph a few weeks ago as a Wordless Wednesday feature — and I still have no idea what that cow is doing there (saying ‘cheese’ perhaps?)…
I’ve fallen in love with painting these modest little 4″ x 4″ canvases, so don’t be surprised if you see a few more in the not-too-distant future.
Hello there. How are you? It’s a little over a month since my last blog post and I’m sure you won’t be at all surprised to learn that what I planned to do during my time away and what actually occurred are two completely different things. As unglamorous as it sounds, I had planned to catch up on housework, beat the garden into submission and paint a few pictures — and I have had a lovely time even though the housework–gardening–painting thing didn’t really happen. The reality is that I spent most of my time working on several graphic design jobs (logos and business cards, which I love doing). And now it’s September, it’s spring and it’s time to get back into blogging again : )
I did manage to complete one painting while I was away. Would you believe it’s called ‘Sidetracked’? It will be for sale once I’ve finished varnishing it.
The different textures in this landscape really appeal to me. I love the clearly defined sections of grass, stone, railway track and sand. And whether you see that patch of blue at the top of the painting as sea or sky is entirely up to you.
The snowflakes are back. This is my second study of a photograph I took in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens last spring. It’s looser and more dramatic than the original sketch (below). I really went to town adding watercolour pencil over the top of an ink and watercolour sketch. Using the pencils wet (by dipping them in water) and then drawing on the wet sketch not only produced some wonderfully intense colours, it also added a rather nice texture. It’s a technique that definitely warrants further investigation… My thanks again to everyone who voted in the poll and asked me to draw this one again.
