After a shaky start this one came together really well - until a dust devil hit the studio and it fell face first onto the concrete floor 🙈
But that’s all fixed now, just needs to be signed and titled.
I’ve been calling it kitchen window because it’s inspired by the view from my kitchen window - but I think it deserves something a bit more emotive…

A bit of a rough start to this one. Total lack of planning, but my new studio is finished and I was just itching to start something new 😃

Trying new things…
I might have been a bit hasty in wiping this one off 🤔
I didn’t like it when I did it, but looking back at the photo it wasn’t that bad.
Oh well - it’s only paint!!

Just for fun 😊
I painted this one to try out some gold leaf techniques. The thing is, I like it just as it is 🤷‍♀️
I guess I’ll try out some varnishes instead…

This week’s meditation…
painting spinifex!

I have to confess, when I start a big area of grass (and I do love grass), I wonder if I’ll ever get to the end, and often wish I had a different style that would let me get there quicker!
But soon enough I just surrender to the process and let it happen. It becomes quite soothing then 😌

This one’s not quite finished, but I’ve got so many ideas buzzing around in my head I need to move on. So after travelling around in a box under the table it’s now into the postal tube to make room for something new! But which one to start next?...

Had time to put the finishing touches on this one today. Now it’s back in it’s carry case to dry and travel.
Now let’s see if my footy team can bring home a win to round off the day 🤞

This is not how it looked in the brochure 😱 - this was our welcome to Fraser Island.
So an afternoon spent in the car watching Netflix!
The good news is I can confirm the swags are waterproof 😁
And this could turn out to be awesome reference material for a painting 😉
They can’t all be sunny days...

What else would I do on a cloudy day? Paint a cloudy painting of course 🎨
I love the beginning of a new painting, it’s full of possibilities. Put some paint on - lights and darks - nothing is wrong at this stage and there’s plenty of time to tweak things.
What do you you do on cloudy days?

Got this one done just before the rain came 👍
I’d actually packed everything up and gone back to camp then realised I hadn’t taken a pic...
So slightly staged - you can tell by the nice clean palette 😉

This one got the better of me 😤
Plein air painting really is challenging!
First the shade moved and I was getting sunburnt so I moved a few feet forward into the shade which completely changed the perspective. Then the flies came!
...and perhaps my mojo just wasn’t with me 😐 Grumpily I wiped off the painting to use the board another day. They don’t all work...

Wash Day
There’s still chores to be done when you’re on the road (actually lots of them!!)
I’ve been wanting to paint this one for a while, so between trips to the laundry...
Some (outdoor) studio work.

Still deciding on the title...
Roadside Rest Stop or
Salmon Gums and Silver Grass?

What do you think?
Got something else?
