Under the Jetty
$250
24cm x 34cm – Matted & Unframed
I love love love doing water. This was a difficult painting to do as water has so much movement and colour. This was an in studio painting and photo taken of the Freo harbour board-walk. I added the gulls in as they are so much a part of what happens around water and they bring a sense of fun to the painting.

Strolling On Rotto

Matted & White Frame
Rotto is an integral part of all West Australians. Wandering around Rotto on a hot day cannot be beaten and coming up to the lighthouse is always a sight to behold! The brightness of the lighthouse against the bright blue ocean and sky just draws you in.

This was an inspiration painting done for the Watercolour Society exhibition in Fremantle 2020. I absolutely love our local birds and the kookaburras are a favourite of mine. They are often outside my office window so it was just an obvious painting for me to present.

Wildflowers are in abundance around us at the moment. I absolutely love painting flowers. This was an in studio painting done from my own lucadendron’s I have growing. The way they change colours once cut is interesting to watch mixed with the pinks of the Boronia makes an interesting painting to view.
