Bay of Fires, Tasmania in oils

This was one of the views from one of the  beaches in the Bay of Fires region.  It is a spectacular region in Tasmania.  Bay of Fires region is known for its white beaches, blue sea and granite rocks covered with orange lichen.  You can sit for hours on the beach just watching the sea and enjoying the peace and quite.

Bay of Fires, Tasmania measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord.

Country Cottage in oils

This was one of the views of the Bed and Breakfast that I stayed at when on holiday in Tasmania in 2007. It was the old railway station (built in 1838) that was used to offload supplies before they were transported to the prison site at Port Arthur.  Hence the name of the B&B is Norfolk Bay Convict Station (http://www.convictstation.com).  The Port Arthur Historic site was only a 10 minute drive away.  (http://www.portarthur.org.au).  I love visiting Tasmania - there is so much to see and do at different times of the year.

Country Lane in oils

I visited Oatlands, Tasmania in 2011 and this is the lane that leads to the Callington mill (https://callingtonmill.com.au).   The restoration of the mill was completed in 2010 and it is a working mill .  You can buy flour that has been grind in the mill.  The bakery also uses the flour grind in the mill to make bread etc so it was rather nice to have lunch at the bakery knowing that the bread was made from the flour grind at the mill.   Oatlands  is a lovely little town with so many of the beautiful old sandstone building still standing.
