Night Wandering

‘She Wandered ThroughThe Emu Bush At Night’
8” x 10”
Gouache and Watercolour

This painting is about the night and the magic and freedom of the night.  I remember reading diaries by Virginia Woolf and I remember her talking about how, at night, all things are possible.  It is a time for dreams, even if you are awake.

Peace


The Bluff Christies Beach, SA

I don’t think I could live away from nature, there is something about being close to things that are real and alive and so vast that puts everything in perspective and brings so much peace.

Beach Weather


Fish and Chips At Sunset
8” x 10”

The weather is slowly warming up now and we are almost into beach weather.  I got the idea for this painting a while ago.  Eating fish and chips at the beach as the sun goes down is such an iconic thing to do here and I just wanted to capture that in a painting.  Also there had to be animals, including the little Redcapped Plovers which I see a lot during winter, not so much in summer because there are people everywhere.
