Silhouetted Sunrise-- I just love orange!

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

been painting

Latest painting has taken a twist.... looking like a sunrise now rather than a sunset, still much work to be done but definitely on the right track now.. I must try the orange/red sunset thing though at some stage.. my next venture when this is finished is a view from Allambie heights then a stricken sailboat on a beach (pale green in tones) for the Marine exhibition at RNPYC and another wave (just love the things) though this time a little abstract in style and colour... wait and see.

And a new idea has sprung for a series on trees--will start with a sepia or B&W in media of ink/charcoal/impasto and paint - object to be represented -banksia tree (their bark is just phenomenal).

I wish for more energy and time to keep up with my brain and its ideas!
wishing all well

2007-2009

During this time period trying for a second child proved an emotional and physical challenge as did a change in my other "sensible career". I began studying at Masters level in 2008 and this became all consuming. The birth of our second child, James Noah in 2009 meant that my painting was truly on the back burner..A few paintings did make it though before our miracle arrived...
