Stoney Ridge Botanical Gardens Dee Why

Watercolour 28 x 37 cms ...

Stoney Range Regional Botanical Gdns at Dee Why .
An unexpected little pocket of Rain forest discovered during a walk, an Oasis hidden in the suburbia off Pittwater Road. I only hope that such precious gems will not disappear with encroaching developments.

Anemone flower with difference

28 x 20 cms WC,
used salt for the varied background.
This painting started as anemone and turned into "smtg" else....simply too hard to keep the pure white while trying to give the petals some depth.

While walking on a muddy path to the River Ems, the falling down wood shacks caught my eyes.

After many months picked a brush again, certainly rusty.

Music Table with Natives & Scrolls

 

The beautiful music table was given to me by a friend. I had to sand the table top few times as it had some damage & then painted it in acrylics in various styles be it Norwg.Rosemaling, Hinderloopen & my own design of Austr. natives for the eyes to feast on.

Australian Natives

 Australian Natives are such a joy to paint for me. Another little painting to be given away as a present -- light and easy to pack into a suitcase and still bring "Freude" to the recipient.
