Alleys and graffiti

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

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

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

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

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

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

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".
