Soothing, refreshing and silky waters are in order for Silly Saturday. These beautiful tropical colors of cobalt teal, aztec gold and a lovely shallows green complement each other delightfully. I wish I were there! Well, I am there, in spirit. Today’s image really isn’t as silly as…. Yesterday’s images; especially that wild, eye popping […]
‘Something different’ for the Friday photos today. A morning play turning paintings into digital designs and photographs into line art drawings. Fun. Funky. Different. Funky Neon Digital Art This digital photo image was originally, a bright orange watercolor floral painting, seen in the post Inspiration – How It Starts. Processes […]
Quail eggs from the perspective and the eye that only a child can have. Priceless. And something is learned from their unique observations. How they see and use their art tools in such abandon just fills me with awe. Maybe a little bit of envy. Freedom, no rules – pure expression. A lovely thing […]
Graffiti, grillwork and linoprinting – inspired by Balmain, New South Wales, Australia. These three images are connected and are in harmony through their fascinating twists and turns. Their Designs link them together. Art Forms: Graffiti, Grillwork, Linoprints The first image taken was the grillwork close up. Second was the graffiti on a building wall, […]
Speckles, freckles and splatters. Quail eggs, tin foil and a watercolour painting backdrop. Frenetic? maybe. But, I kinda’ liked it!

A painting with Naples Yellow, cobalt teal, indigo, and indanthrone blue create a wonderful color harmony I would not have expected from these colors! I love the gorgeous naples yellow, a wonderful soft buttery subtle yellow. Naples Yellow, Not brash […]
Smiling and silly flower faces on Silly Saturday. A bit ‘bug eyed’ they jump right out! Can you imagine doing some fun art faces with these flowers? Coloring Books for grown ups. Perhaps, I could use these flower photos as a tool, a guide to make my own template for a coloring book pattern! […]
Amethyst, Indigo, Violet merge and collide as I gaze down at the ocean and white sands from the small plane skimming along the remote Western Australian coastline just at dusk. A memory. Glimspes of a remembered past. Colors bright and vibrant. The buffed titanium sand beaches at dusk, shadowed with lavender swirls – soothe the […]
Cadmium Orange, French Ultramarine and Winsor Green feature in this large 36 x 24 acrylic abstract painting. Just 3 colours were used. 2 were opposites. I made certain to leave random abstract areas of white, for the contrast. A subsequent post to explain the signature placement, techniques used, colors, processes and materials can […]
My kind of watercolors! With a Twist. This is a gorgeous example of what watercolor can be: powerful yet soft, delicate edges filled with intrigue, balanced, calligraphic design, ribbon like flow. Harmonious. Its Zen. Challenging Art Lessons and Topics I’m sorry that I can’t take credit for creating this artwork, but Joyce, a lovely […]
