A Rusty History

2012-04-18T18:09:00.002-07:00

Recently we were luck enough to travel to Darwin. Wow, it is like being in another country. What a colorful part of Australia. This picture is from when we visited Pine Creek, a small mining town between Katherine and Darwin. There is a park area with all this old mining equipment lying around. Very interesting to look at and with wonderful shapes and rusty colors.

Fairy Tales

2012-04-18T18:06:00.001-07:00

So I had a lot of fun with this picture depicting my close friends children studying a book of fairy tales.

Another Street scape

2012-03-26T02:19:00.001-07:00

I need a name for this one. This was from an image I took of a lane way in Melbourne that leads into the Block arcade.

Happy Feet

2012-03-26T01:52:00.000-07:00

This one was a lot of fun.

2011-10-27T00:08:00.000-07:00

This is my latest picture, black contae on orange paper. I went to Warrandyte the other day for a drive and took some photos of the interesting buildings that run along the main street.

An acrylic on canvas

2011-09-11T04:17:00.000-07:00

This is a street scape painted on canvas. Lots of fun letting the paint dribble down the canvas.

Charcoal on canvas

2011-09-11T03:37:00.000-07:00

We had an American exchange student staying with us. He has gone back to the US and this is a picture I did for him. In it are my two children and our exchange student.

Art and Jazz

2011-09-11T03:33:00.000-07:00

This piece is from a night out at an art opening in Fitzroy street, Melbourne. This was the duo playing at the opening.

Alleys and graffiti

2011-09-11T03:25:00.000-07:00

Hi its a long time since I have had the opportunity to blog. I have been busy studying and now have completed a masters of nursing. This piece is a new technique attempted with charcoal and pastel.

A commission piece

2011-03-03T17:26:00.000-08:00

This is a commission piece. Gee don't you feel a lot of pressure when you are doing the painting for someone else and wondering if this is what they wanted captured.

Nude

2011-03-03T17:20:00.000-08:00

Hi sorry I have been away for so long. You know what its like. Life is so busy. This is an oil I have attempted for Ringwood Art Society's artist of the Year. It was a bit of a struggle and could have probably had some more work done on it but I ran out of time. I had to allow it drying time. Delivery is this Saturday.

Preparation

2010-12-04T03:24:00.000-08:00

My latest picture. This one was requested by my daughter for her room. She wants a vintage feel in her bedroom with lots of black and white. Gone are the dolls and teddies. They grow up so fast.

A special moment

2010-10-23T14:10:00.000-07:00

This painting is inspired by a lady called Dee who is currently battling cancer. She recently went to Queensland and took some wonderful shots and had them compiled in book form. It was like a professional photography book. This is from one of her images that she captured so well.

Dance of the Fairies

2010-09-22T20:39:00.000-07:00

Imagine this cropped, I need to find a programme to do this as the one on my computer is no good at present. My fairy dancing is going into the Pastel Society exhibition coming up in October. This painting was inspired by my childrens ballet concert.

Young Love

2010-09-02T03:36:00.000-07:00

I took my daughter and her boyfriend into the city and had them pose in a variety of places around the streets of Melbourne. After we all recovered from the awkwardness, the photos turned out rather well. From these pictures I have taken inspiration for this painting "Young Love".

Warming up

2010-08-04T23:29:00.000-07:00

Beautiful ballet dancers from my children's dance concert. The routine was quite comical depicting children in a ballet class. There was always some one being a little bit naughty or doing the wrong thing on stage.

Stop in the name of the law

2010-07-31T04:20:00.000-07:00

Hello, good to post after so long. I have had some house guests and uni stuff going on. Life is so busy. It would be nice to just do the things that you want to do instead of the things you have to do.

This painting depicts English policemen in conversation with a man on a bike. Whether it is a friendly encounter or something a little more on the darker side is left up to your imagination.

2010-06-17T01:52:00.000-07:00

Finally a piece of art work to display. This picture has been reworkde several times. It actually started off quite inspiring and then became very muddy. Now, finally reworked with more color and hopefully more pizazz. Kay

Camel Ride

2010-05-20T01:03:00.000-07:00

Hi, I'm sorry I haven't been around to blog at all. I am doing a subject at uni this semester and it has taken up a lot of my spare time. I have just handed in one assignment and I am half way through the next assignment. Very time consuming.

This picture is from central Australia where my daughter has just been on school camp. The camel ride named for whast it is. I loved the colors in these outback shots. The red dust and the blue sky.

Alice Springs

2010-04-27T02:00:00.000-07:00

Hello, its starting to get really cold now in Australia. The weather is gearing up for winter. My son had soccer training tonight in the wet.

This painting is a picture of the Springs in Alice Springs. My daughter has just returned from school camp. Having spent eight days away on a bus travelling out back Australia.

Dancers

2010-03-21T00:57:00.000-07:00

There are so many things that I should be doing and instead I've been painting. Oh well, much more fun.
