Alpine Flowers

This is a semi impressionistic painting of Alpine Flowers (Gentiana), and I have taken some liberties with the base stems, and finally given them a impressionistic twist. I hope you like the final outcome!

Lady's Slipper Arch: one of my early artworks

This is one of my very early artworks.  The arch exists, I painted in the wall to make the painting work!

Guyra Gum Tree No 2

I am not sure about this painting, as I tried to make the old trunk of the gum tree a center feature of this painting.  Good paintings do not usually have the main feature smack in the middle of the painting, but I thought I would try something different with this one... any comments would be gladly taken on board!

Ginger Cat: artwork looking a little mean.

My first try at a portrait of an animal.  This is my Ginger Cat, looking little mean.

Fuchsia in the Wind: A Windblown Painting

This painting is a little different, as I have tried to give it a semi impressionistic windblown look.

This is the first of about six 'flower' paintings I completed a couple of months ago. 

More flower power painting to come!

Painting with Lights 2010: A different kind of artwork

I have not put paint to canvas for the last week or so.  I have been putting up and fussing with my Christmas Lights for 2010.  I consider putting up lights and the way you assemble them to be Painting with Lights!

Here is one of the first video clips I took of our current Christmas Lights setup, I will post one later on when I finally complete the installation of all the Christmas Lights.  This year has been very wet in Australia, so our Christmas Lights have been delays over the last few days on account of rain, rain and more rain!

My original Blog of Painting with Lights contains a small video clip of Lights that I had put in in 2006. 

My Blog - Painting with Lights Part 2 contains a video clip of our Christmas Lights 2009.

I will be back to putting paint on canvas, instead of lights on the roof from today! (Dec 5, which is BTW my birthday).
