New work coming up!

Two commissions, both acrylic on canvas. One of an enormous storm over the paddocks and the other is a Fantasy which will be a big surprise! Watch this space!

My work for the last 23 days

I've been working on a self set project of a painting a day. Just a little half hour work, although some of them turn into 3 hours depending on the complexity of the work! Mostly watercolour and mostly birds and a couple of landscapes with big skies at this stage. I love painting birds! Here is a selection of recent little paintings.

September Monthly Painters Challenge

Hi all, well, I found the topic "Dislike" to be a little difficult! I think we all did at first. Was going to base it on Consumerism (one of my pet dislikes) Then thought of at least a dozen other contemporary topics I could use. Made a list...discounted the list and decided to go with personal dislikes. So it ended up being my dislike of my fears...those I had in childhood that have carried through to adulthood. I am still running from them.

I wanted the sequence of images to be a little dream like..my dreams are in Technicolor and Dolby Sound so for me this is dreamlike! The child in blue is me carrying a candle because of my fear of the dark. The collapsing staircase is my fear of heights and the very large dog with slavering jaws is my fear of very large dogs! I actually enjoyed painting it....

I dont know that painting my fears has destroyed them at all...time will tell. Enjoy <3

It's been a while.....

Since I blogged. been so busy moving my daughter and grandchildren into their own house.  They are very happy with their A frame Fairy House! It's lovely with beautiful views. Very quiet here now. But that's ok...enjoying the peace and serenity. They are only 10 minutes away so I see them every day. :)

Working on the Monthly Challenge and happy with the way it's going :) It's an interesting idea I am using.....wait for it!!!!!!

Ok, time to go and read and sleep. See you all tomoz with smiley faces and happy thoughts.
Love to all

Eco-dyeing

Back to the Eco-dyeing again today...great fun collecting the dry organic matter, making the dyes, wondering what is going to happen! Sometimes it works...sometimes...well, you can imagine!

Monthly Painting Challenge.

My painting is a 15 x 15cm work depicting the Ritual (June's Challenge) of the Gray Nomads going north to escape the southern winter. This is something I will be doing myself in a couple of weeks, all going well. :)
I love a painting trip up to the North /West of WA.

Tomorrow!

Friday the 15th here in The Land of Oz is the day we artists of the Monthly Painting Challenge reveal our paintings of the last month....very exciting. We are given a theme and run (or stagger!) with it. Click the link to view June's challenge works.
