Day 24 #stradaeasel challenge. A quickie before driving down to Mandurah for @pleinairdownunder. No time to paint yet but tomorrow I will finally do a landscape. All quite daunting to have an audience for painting from life. 😬

🔴 Thank you @gallery.360! Lighten Up has been chosen as a 21st gift for a very lovely young lady. What a wonderful way to celebrate a special birthday…with art. ❤️ A lifetime gift.

Day 23 #stradaeasel I’m packing for @pleinairdow

Day 23 #stradaeasel I’m packing for @pleinairdownunder and my oils are zipped away in my kit. I’ll finally get some landscapes done for @strada.easel from tomorrow. So for now, it’s gouache on watercolor paper, with my sleepy GR to model size. 😆 I bumped the feathers as I photographed and they have photographed way darker than I painted them. Oh well, it’s done.

Super excited to be selected as a finalist in the @melvillecityartsandevents exhibition, being held for the first time at the Wireless Hill Museum and Gallery. Details on the image tiles. Pop the dates in your diary, it’s sure to be a wonderful event. Swipe to see a detail from my painting ‘Bird’s of a feather’ locals and country cousins. Many of these birds can be found in Wireless Hill, on the foreshore of Melville and I’ve also popped in one or two birds found when you wander out yonder. 76x100cm oil on canvas. Thank you to sponsors @sjogmurdoch @westfieldbooragoon @jacksonsdrawingsupplies @perthnow @melvillecity

Day 22 - #stradaeasel I’ve chopped off the knot but I did paint it! When life gives you lemons and a nail on your wall…

Day 21 #stradaeasel
When it’s late enough to put the lights on, a simple pencil drawing is definitely chosen over paint. It’s been a long day of family commitments. Funnily enough, drawing a nautilus is not an easy task and if I wanted easy, I certainly would have chosen a piece of fruit or a vegetable! That curve was very tricky, as drawing is all about matching up lines and negative spaces and the nautilus curve offers neither on its own. Anyway it’s done. If life allows me, it’s back to paint tomorrow…

New @lalalandshop goodies! The link to these are in my bio. Corky coasters and the 2022 calendar featuring one of my artworks. These are also available as prints in a great range of sizes and frames with @hivemind_prints Links also in my bio.

Day 20 #stradaeasel Inspired by @bryanmarktaylor and his bag of apples today. I picked limes from my tree and painted this one in just under 45 minutes. Very happy with this one and amazed what lessons I’ve learnt along the 20 days so far of this challenge. Ten days left and some of that will be at @pleinairdownunder! 😬

I totally love it when collectors send me photos of their artwork hanging in their homes. It’s really special for me to see the end result. This is ‘Little Ray of Sunshine’ looking absolutely stunning, all dressed up in a frame by @artpresentations (thanks Peter) and sold from @yallingupgalleries. 💛💛 If you own one (or more!) of my artworks, please email or message a photo of it hanging in its spot. 🙂

Day 19 #stradaeasel A painting a day for the month of September, painted from life. All I could paint today was this simple geranium stem. It’s been my mama’s birthday and we’ve been out feasting with a long lunch with the family. Some days life gets lived and the painting is secondary. 🌸🌸🌸 Gouache on watercolor paper.

Day 18 #stradaeasel challenge. A painting a day for the month of September, painted from life. Quite pleasant today, burgundy tones in front of the rugby! Gouache #kuretakegouache on paper.

Day 17 #stradaeasel challenge. A painting each day

Day 17 #stradaeasel challenge. A painting each day for the month of September, painted from life. Following on from yesterday’s drawing, I took my pilfered flowers into the studio and added yesterday’s background. Background needs a whole lot of work yet to set tones, but alla prima is all about getting it down in one go.

Day 16 - #stradaeasel challenge. A rough and simple 10 minute drawing is all I can give today. 🥴 Pilferage from my walk with the pooch. I’ll start it in paint tomorrow. I’ve been catching up on studio work, commissions and emails today, life gets in the way of fun some days.

Day 15 #stradaeasel I’ve spent the day wanderin

Day 15 #stradaeasel I’ve spent the day wandering the shops with mum. Challenges are always more challenging on busy days that’s for sure. Planning ahead is definitely needed! But it’s done, phew.

Head on over to @lalalandshop and get 20% off my cards and coasters today only! Link to my LaLalandshop products is in my bio. How cute are these coasters? Christmas is coming…😉

Day 14 #stradaeasel challenge. Painting from life

Day 14 #stradaeasel challenge. Painting from life each day for the month of September. Let sleeping dogs lie as long as possible! I waited and waited until she was super snoozing and got through about an hour before my daughter came in from work and disturbed us. Gouache on watercolor canvas panel.

Day 13
#stradaeasel challenge.
A painting a day for the month of September, painted from life.
After yesterday’s disappointing painting, I regrouped my thoughts and spent the day on this one…not quite the hour I allowed for the last 12! Haha. But still painted alla prima and from life. Note to self…it’s ok to slow down and enjoy the journey. 💛 20x20 oil on canvas. I still need to add more depth to the shadows and highlights but happier with today’s paint up.

Day 12 #stradaeasel
Total disaster. Painted my mum’s garden…forgot my glasses, forgot my phone, muddied my colours and eventually wiped it off! Such is life painting outdoors. I tried and this time failed but I’ll keep trying. Alla prima is a completely different learning curve to studio painting.

Day 11 #stradaeasel challenge. A painting a day fr

Day 11 #stradaeasel challenge. A painting a day from life, for the month of September. All I can say is…it’s a riot of colour. I’d much rather slowly pick my way around this beautiful bunch of freesias, than do this as haphazardly as I have, but having a time constraint helps get rid of perfectionist painting. So much learning going on with this challenge, the good and the bad. I’ll photograph these flowers for a more perfect paint up soon too!

Day 10 #stradaeasel challenge, painting from life

Day 10 #stradaeasel challenge, painting from life every day for the month of September. I went bigger today and more complex and didn’t get it done within the hour I’ve set myself. Will tackle it again tomorrow. Freesias painted from life, oil on canvas covered panel. 20x25cm.
