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.


29 x 23 cms watercolour and acrylic.

Australian Natives ... I cannot help myself, I just love painting them. To get a "mottly" varied effect in the background I used salt in the wet pigment. Painted on WC 300 gr paper with WC & acrylics.

 

Aftermath of Bushfire

 Aftermath of Bushfire     Watercolour 38 x 28 cms
After the bushfire swept through, the resilience of the gum trees and nature is utterly amazing. The Gum trees with their trunks ¾ burn out and hollowed come alive, they sprout new branches and leaves, from burnt cinders  the grass trees shoot their helms and the Waratahs  make their wonderful appearance. (the little red blobs in the bushes). It is a wonder of nature.
