Top end of Brunswick Street Melbourne

They call Adelaide the city of churches, but there are more church steeples in Melbourne than you can poke a candlestick at! There are parts of Melbourne that you would not be suprised to see the gas street lights being lit for the night. Brunswick Street is one of those places. It has an alluring mixture of up-to-the-minute fashion and an oldness that would have you expecting Oliver Twist to come dashing out of a shop front.

Beach for dogs

Have you ever noticed how dogs just love the beach - most of the time much more than their owners seem to! Even in the winter months dogs don't seem to mind the cold water and will plough into the waves after a tennis ball just for the enjoyment of it. Personally, I love the reflections of dogs and their owners in the shallows.

Blue Shallow Beach

I love to experiment with clouds and reflections in a beachscape. The clouds are brushed in freely with no regard for the small brush - this keeps them 'cloud-like' and uncontrived. The beach and sea are painted the same way. It takes a lot of practice (hundreds of paintings) to be confident in painting this way. Finally the figures are painted in with a small brush - this needs the utmost confidence for them to look right with the rest of the painting.

View from the beach - Encounter Bay

Granite Island from the Bluff

 

It was a cold winter morning when I painted this little piece and it is one of my favourites. The sun was low and facing me, that in turn produces its own colours in a landscape. The subdued colours have given this  painting a good representation of the atmosphere of the day.

Seal Island Victor Harbor

When I painted this a couple of months ago, it was cold, windy and I was wearing my plein air gloves - ones with no fingertips on them - they are great! This was painted from the Bluff area looking behind Granite Island.

I loved the clouds on this day. Winter clouds have a feel that is rarely seen in the warmer months, they are cold and often very dramtic - clouds you just have to watch!

Slice of cockle beach 2

A while ago I had a studio clean-up that entailed throwing away what I considered despensible and slicing up some larger pieces which in themselves made better paintings than the original-sized ones.

This is slice is up for auction with a low start price. It was originally a very large piece that focused on the view toward Middleton from Goolwa. It was a grey misty day but was alive with cocklers with a focus on these two in particular.

It's a lovely moody piece that will frame up beautifully under glass and matting.
