Yet another walk with more treasures! These 3 trees have such lovely colours and patterns, that after I went right past them I felt I needed to go back to have a second look. Then the camera came out…… I loved how the golden green lichen encompassed the orange-sienna fungus creating a beautiful accent in […]
“Nobody sees a flower – really- it is so small it takes time – We haven’t time – and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” Georgia O’Keefe Another Georgia O’Keefe quote I like is, “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, its […]
Our family grew up in Washington state, the Evergreen state, home of Mt. Rainier. Prior posts, I may have mentioned a few times something about the ever-present grey skies and drizzle. I left out The Mountain. Probably due to said clouds obscured it so often! Mt. Rainier is surrounded by national and state forests […]
What wondrous things a palette knife can do! Soft diffusions of colours and tones and heaped up delicious globs of paint, I think I’m a bit obsessed with my PK 1008 palette knife. But I’m sure you can see why its so easy to get lost in all the delightful patterns, textures and colours that’s […]

Autumn Aglow Landscape is a mixed media painting that I’ve used Prussian Blue to create the tree foliage. The painting was done in a loose, interpretative and impressionistic approach…no brushes! My reference sources were from my recent walks and taking quite a few photographs of the autumn leaves, water reflections in the late […]
Lovely and gorgeous, I couldn’t resist this delicately coloured rose-pink hibiscus on my fantastic “detour” the other day. I took photos not only of Autumn Water Reflections, but a number of very intriguing subjects as well. I can’t wait to get out there and accidentally, of course, have a few more happy detours […]
I had lots of Good intentions today, but I admit I was led astray… or rather down the garden path. Its my day off, I had a large ‘to do’ list with going to the shops first on my agenda. However – I stopped and grabbed my camera off the kitchen bench as I was […]
Walking around Perth is fantastic with a plethora of pink and red flowers guaranteed to make me stop and become immersed in their beauty. Tea Tree blossoms with their blushing petals and crimson centres, the fire engine red bottlebrush and last the miniature grevillia with its curly stamens. Breathtaking flowers on a perfect and […]
