The Forest in Oils

When I came across this reference photo I just had to do a painting of it.  It is 6 x 6 inches on Ampersand gessobord. 

Many thanks to Juneto (Wetcanvas) for the reference photo.

Winter Robin in oils

I love painting birds - they are so bright and colourful.  It is another one done on  the 6 x 6 inches Ampersand Gessobords.  Really like this size panel.

Pears and Grapes in Acrylics

I really like the play of light vs dark with this one.  It is 6 x 6 inches on Ampersand Gessobord.  I must really find my shadow box I built a year or so ago so that I can set up my own still lifes - just have to try and remember were I stored it - that's the problem when visitors come - you pack things away and then can't remember were you put them.

Many thanks to Mprince (Wetcanvas) for the reference photo.

Sand Dune in Oils

I painted this one on the 6 x 6 inches gessobord that I ordered from the USA.  Really like the size of this panel - have quite a few more paintings planned for this size - planning on doing a combination of birds/animals, seascape, landscapes and still life paintings (keen to set up my own still lifes - just must find the box I built  last year).

Sand Dune is painted on 6 x 6 inches Ampersand gessobord. 

Many thanks to VickiB (Wetcanvas) for the reference photo. 



Lion in oils

I painted this one on the 5 x 7 inches gessobord - I really love this surface - so much easier to blend etc.  Ordered quite a few 6 x 6 , 5 x 7 and 5 x 5 gessobord's  from the USA as the Australian stockist does not sell the 5 x 5 or the 6 x 6 gessobords - actually worked out  cheaper even with the postage!!!

Many thanks to Gary Jones for the reference photo.
