Cousins

6"x8" Oil on gessoboard
SOLD

Ordinary People

These four little cousins are my friends Grandaughters... they were on holiday in Fiji when this photo was taken, I loved the photo when I saw it and knew I wanted to paint it. Next time I will think more about it before I launch straight in!! It was a nightmare and would have definitely been better painted larger....  I will make sure I don't do that again!!

Palm-Dampier Beach

6"x6" Oil on gessoboard

I found this small palm tree close to the waters edge on the beach in Dampier when I was on holiday in Western Australia last year and I've been wanting to paint it for a while. I love the bright green fronds against the blue water!! Very tropical!

Ready and Waiting

6"x6" Oil on board

Another from my holiday photos. The image isn't a very good one I'm not sure what went wrong but this is the best I could do! It looks much better in life. This was outside a cafe in Sydney, I had been watching this small dog trying to get his owner to move.... obviously he  was sick of waiting and ready to go!
I didn't paint with my usual palette for this...thought I'd try something different so I used burnt sienna, ultramarine blue, yellow ochre and white.
