I enjoy Nature. I love becoming absorbed with the small snippets and microcosms that segments can offer our eye and our imagination. It stirs. It Inspires! Combining Loves, Watercolor and Trees Its no secret that I adore trees. A Tree Hugger, at times. You look through my posts, it becomes evident. The post Tantalising […]
Fun, Quirky and Addictive! Yes, Tree Bark. Don’t you think that the Simple things in life should be enjoyed more?! The bark textures have a rough allure that pulls the eye and makes the hands itch to touch these living sculptures. The Ancient. The lovely red tingle tree has magnificent textured bark […]
Monday rolls around with jet lag dogging my heels. The only problem with that, is I haven’t been on a plane. Monday’s post, as you know is usually out by 6am. I rise early, wake the birds and finish my post. Not today. Today, I’ve had a siesta. A postponement. But, enough procrastination! Time […]
A Silly take on last Saturday’s whirlwind trip. I’ve created an Abstract acrylic painting on canvas using the palette knife in fun swirls of yellow, greens, blues. A bit of silliness, never hurts! My interpretation and explanation for ‘Silly’ today, is simply that the yellow represents the lovely yellow shirt our granddaughter wore when […]
Time, Space, Nature, Zen. These strands that seemed to create a loosely woven design of lines, were like a waving flag of invitation to me. How could I pass this small micro world by? Filament Lines There is power, in the Line. These filament lines, floating on the surface of the pond are […]
Explosions of color surprised me….. I was just having a quick play testing some acrylics out with the palette knife. Thinking about mixing up and testing colors and textures that I might use for bark, forest, trees. All spurred by my recent trip down south to see The Ancient Empire, the Valley of the Giants […]
The Valley of The Giants, a place of imagination and inspiration. Have a wander with me and have a look at some of these glorious Red Tingle trees. This not quite hidden grove of towering old tingle trees is also known as The Ancient Empire. What a fascinating and mysterious name for these magnificent […]
Filtered light dappled the wonderful trees and foliage. The sun playing hide and seek behind clouds in the afternoon gave glimpses first of bright light and then sudden chilly shadows. Inspiration Our spur of the moment trip to the Valley of the Giants, Western Australia has given me some lovely memories of the high […]
Two small impressionist watercolor landscape paintings. Both mounted onto the gorgeous, velvet surface of Stonehenge in black. But their formats and their use of edges are distinctive and unique from each other. Impressions of the Land Horizontal Format The Umber Fields with indigo feathered distant trees creates a calmer, more Contemplative scene. Its […]
Silly Saturday’s artwork was inspired by a trip to Yanchep National Park, in Western Australia. The lake and lagoon had lovely “S” curves that I thought served well for “Silly Saturday” initials today. (And, I’m back on cobalt teal.) First, a sample of what the view of the Yanchep parkland lagoon looked like. […]
