Strolling Oystercatchers

6"x6" oil on board

I love the birds, they have such character! This is from a small study I did last year...I came across them strolling along the beach when I was out walking.

Lavender and limes from my garden! Springtime in this part of the world, it is so nice to have warmer weather again. I am finding my way back to painting even though it has been a slow process...still a bit out of practice. It is interesting to note how necessary it is to keep painting every day!

A favorite place of mine! This Estuary not far from where I live often has a serene feeling about it late in the evening, hardly a blade of grass moves! I love the peacefulness.

My first spring flower from my garden! I have a vase full of theses on the table, the perfume is beautiful. I am slowly getting back to painting but will have to practice loosening up. I have a few different subjects under way so that should help!!

I have been wanting to get back to painting small again  I find it gives me the freedom to experiment and paint a lot of different subjects. After not painting frequently for over a year I need the practice, so here is the first one!! This is a small section of rocks that forms a saltwater pool that I walk past quite often.

I have to thank Matt Kemp https://www.instagram.com/mattkempphotography/ for allowing me to use his image of a Shetland cow and her calf. Love his photography and loved painting this!!

March Morning

 10x8in Oil on canvasboard
$150

I am happy to get another painting finished after being so busy moving house! It has been a long time. I'm back living in New Zealand after travelling for 10 months around Australia. It feels good to be back where I belong and to walk around the areas I love! This is one of them...the estuary sunbleached grasses!
