Charcoal on canvas

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

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

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.
