Water Lillies Buds

I implemented Heidi Willis technique on the next designs.  After umpteenth glazes this is the result.

Water lilly

Watercolour.... which demanded lots of patience, glaze upon glaze.... 
I did a workshop with Heidi Willis,  her beautiful true to life flowers are simply stunning & the thought was that this could encourage me to pick up a brush again.  In a way it did.  Now I am trying to use "what I've learnt", her technique in other designs...however this style of painting is extremely time consuming and really not for the impatient me ... however am giving it a go - my attempts will be uploaded sometimes, when I finished the umpteenth glaze.

Vodnik (Water Sprite)

Vodnik na Vyhlidce  (Wassergeist - Water Sprite)
Watercolour 28 x 38 cms
This was a wooden carved figure of a Water Sprite (Wassergeist) at a Pension I stayed at few years back in Czech Republic.  I always wanted to paint it... but it has proven extremely difficult, combined with the watercolour paper which lost its sizing and became a blotting paper... I struggled all the way.
The background changed I did not want to detract from the focal Pt of vodnik.
Vodnik is a mythology figure & is the "scary green creature" in the waters who pries on little children ... so the story goes....

West McDonnel Ranges, N.T. Australia

West MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory, Australia

One of snapshots from my Safari from Adelaide to Alice Springs
West MacDonnell National Park (Northern Territory) is a great example of an ancient landscape formed by climate changes. Magnificent & unique landscape.
The West MacDonnell National Park lies close to Alice Springs and stretches some 161 km west.
There are great walks, waterholes as Ellery Creek Big Hole, Ormiston Gorge...... A wonderful way to cool off on a warm day.
