By the Water Exhibition

I’ve been working towards this exhibition for some months now and it’s finally coming together in a frenzy of finishing paintings, framing and a few extra botanical printing projects.

It documents my passion for water, how it shapes the land, supports life and refreshes the soul.

Blue Wren and River Rocks. Pastel

You can be sure there will be plenty of colour!

… and a good dose of atmosphere and mood.

Soft Light on the Huon River. Pastels.

If you happen to be in Hobart pop in and see what I’ve been up to, have a chat and you might even catch me doing a mini painting while you’re visiting.

If you can’t make it in person here’s a digital catalogue for you to enjoy.

Lindy these are fantastic water art pastels, you are talented.

I love the blue wren and the boats, you have a brilliant way of capturing the water and the rocks.

  Thanks Loretta. I appreciate your kind comments. I do love painting water but if you had seen my first attempts at rocks you would have fallen off your chair laughing!

    Aw Lindy you are so modest, I am practicing with pastels and you previously gave great tips on what paper to use.

  Hi Helen,
  
  I’m still deciding what’s going in and what’s not and will probably create a few more before I finalise the catalogue. I expect to have around 40 -50 … a mix of quite large to some mini’s and a few in between. I know I want to get a couple more pastels finished…and then there’s a few commissions I’m having to fit in. it’s all a bit frantic! Hope you and Rob are havingb a good start to 2026! Lindy x
