🐾 I’ve had the absolute pleasure to paint these two Swiss Shepherds for a @bluethumbart commission. ⁣
⁣
I’ve not painted this breed before, so it was interesting to read of their temperament to work out how to portray them. ⁣
⁣
❤️ One is a party girl and the other a very calm gentleman. Red was also an important colour to my client, so with all this in mind, Carman Miranda was perfect inspiration! ⁣
⁣
It’s such fun to create these portraits. Imaginative realism gone a little crazy! ⁣

I’m a terrible procrastinator when it comes to l

I’m a terrible procrastinator when it comes to listing my prints...originals will always be my one true love ❤️⁣
But...Here’s why I make prints available of my art. ⁣
⁣
Prints finance my work being professionally photographed and I photograph it for a number of reasons way beyond making prints....⁣
⁣
1. Archiving for future reference for my girls. Many paintings I have sold have been of them and there are a few from my early days I have regretted selling and don’t have great photos of and I so, so wish I did for posterity. ⁣
⁣
2. Professional photography of my work has allowed me to get licensing, such as my⁣
Greeting cards and home wares with @lalalandshop, an area I am still exploring and will definitely expand into. Licensing demands high resolution digital files at a size and clarity I just cannot achieve myself. ⁣
⁣
3. Prints allow an additional (Small) stream Of income. It’s not much, as I don’t work hard at the digital side of my art business, but it could be quite lucrative. ⁣
⁣
4. Prints take my work into homes that may not otherwise know my art. Let’s face it, original art is pricey...hours and hours of work and cost of materials and commissions to gallery partnerships set the price for artists to work as a business. ⁣
⁣
5. My original’s sell pretty fast these days and you need to be quick to get one! ⁣
⁣
6. Businesses, such as cafes, restaurants, dentists etc, like hanging art but don’t need originals to make a place happy and beautiful. ⁣
⁣
So there you have it...my Sunday morning ramble on why I make prints available...Thank you for listening! 😆⁣
⁣
Have you ever bought a print? ⁣
⁣
Would you ever buy a print?⁣
⁣
I use to answer ‘no’ but there are some artists that I admire their work and will never be able to buy an original of and so, yes, one day I might buy a print that I truly love. ⁣
⁣
Lastly, My prints are so darn good. They are crazily close to the original in colour and capture. So if you see something you love, get in touch with me and I’ll see if it’s available as a print (or better yet, the original! Haha!) ⁣

New Limited edition print listed with @bluethumbart. ‘Summer Blues’

So thrilled for the opening of @urbansoulfoods *2.

So thrilled for the opening of @urbansoulfoods *2....congratulations Paolo and Aimee on your new adventure! You have worked so hard. I was introduced to the business on Thursday...by Friday, we had a hanging rail up and my artwork installed ready for opening drinks tonight. It just felt right to be part of this wonderful new shop in the heart of Subiaco. A European delicatessen, coffee, cakes and bespoke handcrafted foods and home wares from local artisans. They had some blank walls ready to be filled...and hey...Food paintings for a gourmet food shop is 🥰 perfect. All art is for sale. Thank you @urbansoulfoods! Cannot wait to go shopping next week...it’s right next door to the old Witch’s Cauldron and a few metres from @jacksonsdrawingsupplies 😜 How could I not?!

My motto? Be open to new ideas, you just never kno

My motto? Be open to new ideas, you just never know where they may lead...Hanging today in a new Subiaco venue...Stay tuned. 🧀🥫☕️

Gosh, We have been so incredibly ‘locked in and

Gosh, We have been so incredibly ‘locked in and lucky” during these strange Covid times. With our borders firmly shut to the outside world, it’s meant that Western Australia has had very few infections with the virus 🦠 and life has pretty much been business as usual, Thank God. ⁣I know the border closures have hurt many, and I don’t disregard or disrespect the hard times many find themselves in, but for many artists it seems to be mostly okie.
⁣
✈️ With our ability to travel severely hampered and the lack of travel over the European summer so many of us usually flock to, has seen many people working on their homes instead, redecorating and of course, buying art.
🌞 Anyway, I’ve noticed an increase in queries and quotes in the last month or so, maybe it’s just spring and summer on its way creating this new energy, but I will take it all the same! 🌸⁣
⁣🔴 It’s so nice ‘Sweet Surrender’ has found a new home and even better that I was actually in the gallery @gallery.360 delivering artworks when it sold! ⁣

Thank you @ttomwalkerr for the use of your awesome photo...might hit you up to be my regular photographer down south! 😉⁣
I totally loved this photo when I first saw it...the colours, composition, the narrative. A perfect capture of life in WA. 🌞⁣

Oh my! How good does this puddy cat look all dress

Oh my! How good does this puddy cat look all dressed up in it’s pretty frame? Thank you Peter @artpresentations, great job! ⁣💥
⁣
This is my mum’s cat, Violetta, and it’s for her birthday on Saturday, so shhhhhh. 🤫⁣
⁣
This is an itty bitty oil painting made grand by the best of the best frame. The painting measures 20x20cm but the frame makes it 35x35cm. ⁣
When in doubt, go big...and always, always go best. You will never regret the extra dollars to finish a beautiful artwork. The right frame is perfection. ⁣

New display up @lccaffe_ in Claremont...an ode to spring! 🌸🌸🌸 If you are a coffee lover this is your place...the Italians sure do know how to make the perfect cup. Great staff, food, coffee and 😜 art. Lucky it’s my local! All Art for sale and specially priced for cafe patrons only. Prints available.

👩🏻‍🎨 It’s taken me about 15 years to get where I am with my art...and almost that long to be ridiculously and undeniably authentic with it. ⁣
⁣
🤦🏻‍♀️🤔It’s not easy to be an artist. Mastering your chosen medium takes a truck load of patience, grit, money, tears and frustration, and going professional takes an incredibly thick hide and will power to keep showing up and shouldering the set backs and disappointments with grace. ⁣
⁣
After all this striving, why hide or deny your true self when presenting it to the world? ⁣
⁣
Be proud. Be passionate. Be you. ⁣
⁣
Boldly present your art to the world. Paint crazy dressed up animals if that’s what you want to paint 😜. Paint realism or abstract, traditional or contemporary... making sure it’s you and not ‘trends’ or clients making these decisions.

Be Fearless. Have fun. And keep on showing up...unashamedly you. Now go forth and make art! Happy spring Saturday!

Oh Helllooo my pretties! ⁣
⁣
‘The Power of One’ and ‘Feels Like Home’ looking picture perfect @galleryaura. ⁣
⁣
Same vase....totally different canvas sizes! One sits 100cm high and one at just half this size. ⁣
⁣
I spent many holidays in Kojunup as a child, so it holds a special place in my city slicker heart and I’m chuffed my art now hangs down there. 🌸⁣
⁣
Who has visited? A good destination for tourist and home holidays! ⁣

Yesterday you were fun...When all the stars align

Yesterday you were fun...When all the stars align and we could all take a day off from real life with a birthday (not mine!) as the perfect excuse for a road trip with @gallery.j.a.m plus one, into the Avon Valley. A pub lunch, laughter, wildflowers and champagne in the spring sunshine. Thank you @joanneduffyartist @alixkorteart and @kateryanart for a fabulous day. 🌸🥂🌸 Now to paint with all that inspiration!

Well helloooo gorgeous! The tray to match my tea towel is available later this week! Isn’t she pretty? Swipe to see the pair. My kookaburra is available as a regular sized greeting card, mini greeting card, tea towel and tray with @lalalandshop (link to my products is in my bio and they are in shops Australia wide) ....and of course prints to a number of sizes are available via me! The original is 🔴 and living in utter perfection on a sheep farm!

🐟 Oh boy, was this ever a challenge. Fun, hard, fun...you would think I’d have learnt my lesson by now and have these ideas fully formed before I start and not make these images up as I go along! ⁣
Anyway, it’s mostly finished other than highlights, some glazing and some tonal shifts. ⁣
It’s a biggie! 100x100cm. ⁣Oil on canvas.
Hmm...it needs a title! Come on word sleuths, throw me your ideas! Think idioms, proverbs and colloquial sayings...⁣
Seas the day⁣
Sea Change⁣
Patience is a virtue⁣
It’s not all about this crazy time we find ourselves in, but with my recent suitcase fixation, travel is definitely on my mind! ⁣

I didn’t get much painting done today, certainly

I didn’t get much painting done today, certainly not as much as I planned. Some days are like that, but oh my, the hour or so I managed was pure joy. Please, if you have ever enjoyed the thought of making art, push through the what if’s, I’m rubbish, it’s crap, it’s all hopeless stage and just play and fake it til you make it...especially during pandemic times when it’s mega important to find some joy in the dark. Wherever you are around the world, wishing you a safe passage through these trying times. I am in Western Australia and extremely thankful for a strong government keeping us firmly locked in a Corona free bubble. Let me know where you are and how these time’s are for you. 👩🏻‍🎨❤️

Oh boy. Has this ever been a labor of love...or frustration? I don’t know, I just know it’s been a darn slog at times and I’m still not done 2 full weeks later...🤦🏻‍♀️ Mind you, the dog did trip me over (again) earlier in the week and my back has felt ouchy, but still, what an innings! Anyway, enough rambling, this is just a snippet from a 100x100cm oil painting. Yep a biggie with plenty of detail. Let’s see if I can get it nearly done today! Paint brushes crossed. Wish me luck!

Oh Spring. How I 💛 you. With all your fancy flowers and pops of colour. It’s National Wattle Day in Australia for the first day of spring. Time to buy some extra antihistamines and get in the garden. Anyway, we have so many varieties of wattle and I couldn’t tell you which one this is, but it’s definitely one of my absolute favourite natives to paint and paint it I have...More times than I can recall. Hmm, Must go pilfer some more soon 😉😆 ‘Golden Shadows’ oil on canvas 76x100cm SOLD from @galleryaura

Oh boy, will I ever miss this painting when it finds it’s forever home. But as my walls are slowly crumbling under the weight of all my paintings, I have to send it on it’s merry little way. It’s 40x50cm and framed in a white wood frame, nice and simple to enhance the lovely swan. It’s now listed with @bluethumbart who sell these pieces pretty darn fast for me...so moral of this long winded story is, get in quick if you like it! Available via me, here by PM, or online via @bluethumbart. 💙 ‘Crowning Glory’ oil on canvas 40x50cm $1150 free Shipping worldwide.
