While I was in the Snowys recently I took a photo of an old shed - weathered with the years and probably not storing much any more
Well I knew when I saw it I would have to use it to do a mixed media piece - so yesterday I did it - lots of paper and bits and it took me a while but I am so pleased with it - there are some closeups too as the first pic doesn't really do it justice .... you certainly need to peer into my paintings to see hidden meanings
The full painting
'Weathered through the years'
Left section
Rusted chimney
Fence line and hardware
And this was from a photo in Gladstone - at the Botanical Gardens. The light in the mid afternoon glowed across the water and the waterlilies in flower made a spectacular display. The old mallelucas with their fantastic bark were bowed down towards the water and everything was hot and still.
SOLD
Shimmer in the Early Afternoon
I will let you into a secret - this is real bark - I know it looks real - because it is
Detail of the waterlilies
I love using papers with patterns and you can see things if you look closely at my works - that is the fun of it all....
