Painting on Maddens Plains

 

                                              AN AFTERNOON'S WORK...

Is there a more blissful way

To spend a day?                          

An afternoon painting at Madden's Plain,

Uses all the senses and totally engages the brain,

Its really quite exhiliherating and great fun,

 To step back and see the results when done.



Final garden paintings

Painting 3

Painting 4

Garden paintings finished finally. I was intending to paint six in this series, however as always when I HAVE to do something (self imposed of course) I start to resent the task half way through and would rather be doing so many other things...gardening, cooking, or just finishing the latest painting calling to me on the easel.
SO there are only four "spring garden" paintings.

                                                      Behold the complete set, DONE!

Painting 2

 As you can see my attitude is reflected in the paintings.
When I started, neat pretty, lady- like... as I progressed, slap-dash, bolder.
In real life, Painting 1 is my favourite so I must be lady-like!

Round The Garden

            PAINTING ROUND THE GARDEN

With the gorgeous spring weather and the flowers bursting forth,I have painting round the garden for a series to be published in the Fine and Decorative Painting Magazine in 2013, pending editor's approval...called "Round the Garden" of course..



I was sitting quietly painting and snuffling with hayfever from the lime blossom nearby, when this guy flew in for a drink.By the time I got the camera out and took a photo he was gone. The life of a wildlife photographer must be so frustrating.
