Recent Fine Art



So proud and excited in winning 3rd prize at the 2016 Sydney Royal Easter Show Art Show for the second year in a row in the Digital Art Section with my artwork titled 'Lilya' (above) which was drawn using my iPad and the Procreate drawing app.  

This artwork titled 'On A Day Like This' was SOLD at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2016 Art Show in the rural landscape section. There are certainly a great number of people who are lovers of cows let me tell you. This artwork was painted using acrylic paint and ink on a piece of pine board. I just love the wood grain in some of these pieces which added to the rustic feel of the piece. I sold a cow painting last year in this same section and both paintings of cows include an egret sitting on the back of the cow. Love these little birds who you see keeping cows company often, not far from where I live in the rural part of the Central Coast NSW. 





CENTRAL COAST ART SOCIETY WINTER EXHIBITION
These two paintings of mine, although completely different in technique, were entered in the art society's winter exhibition of which I am a member of. These are painted on 41x50cm birchwood panels.
Both are still For Sale.
'THE WARDROBE' top of these two paintings was painted using tea, acrylic paint and ink with a little carving out the birchwood here and there.
'THE CHANGEROOM' (left) is a play on my visions of looking at gum trees as they shed their bark. Sometimes you can just see human forms as the light plays on the smooth trunks of the trees.
This is painted with acrylic paint and ink.


THE OVERFLOW EXHIBITION
This painting was hung in the exhibition held in October this year.
Titled 'THE UNDRESSING' it is another play on my visions of the beautiful human like forms of the gum trees with their peeling bark. Painted on pine board and accentuating wood grain using tea. The trees are painted with acrylic paint using a metal spatula. Twigs and black ink created shadow areas and defined shape. FOR SALE
