July 17, 2017

I love the Huon River in all it’s moods. Here it is on an overcast day , full of atmosphere and quiet beauty. The grasses and bushes on the river bank add another layer of interest and texture against the backdrop of misty mountains and gentle reflections.Here’s the reference photo to go along with my … More Huon River Painting Demo

When I'm teaching absolute beginners in soft pastels I like to give them a quick exercise using B&W fruit and veg images for them to apply pastel over. It's a super fun way of getting them to appreciate that value is more important than local colour. They went on to create some great first paintings. :) Making up some small sets of pastels for my Introduction to Pastels workshop tomorrow at The Colour Circle studio. I love sharing my passion for pastels with beginners! Making progress.. This is one of my entries in the Waterways exhibition If I get it finished in time! #paintingforpleasure #tassieartist #acrylicpaintingoncanvas #acryliconcanvaswip On my easel now. My collagraph group smashed it today ! Here's a few of the bird and garden themed prints. Their first time ever trying this fabulous printmaking technique. #collagraph #collagraphprint #collagraphworkshop #collagraphy #printmaking Under the Sprinkler... Based on a photo of my beautiful and joyful great niece. This will be hanging at the Body and Soul exhibition at The Lady Franklin gallery opening next Sat. #bodyandsoul #ladyfranklingallery #artsocietyoftasmania #tasmanianartist #pastelpainting Finished the bag today with a contrast band, lined with eco printed cotton, added 2 slip pockets, a recessed zipper and an adjustable strap. I used up the small scraps making a matching credit card holder and a keyring. Satisfying day.🙂 #ecoprintingonleather #echoesofnature  #leatherecoprintbag #botanicalprintingonleather #useeveryscrap  #leafandprint #botanicalprinting #contactprinting #leafprinting #botanicalprinting #naturepreserved #naturaldyes  #naturesgifts #sewingday #bagmaking Messing around with some eco printed leather...because this sample was quite small I'm mixing and matching with a sand coloured leather . This is kangaroo leather from @PackerLeather- it's beautifully soft but very strong. Above the baubles and gifts I like to place a simple nativity to remind me what Christmas truly means to me. Whatever Christmas means to you I wish you joy, peace and friendship not just for Christmas but all year through. #christmasgreetings #themeaningofchristmas #lighttheworld
