Country Stream in acrylics

I liked the placement of the tree and stream in reference photo but not the season which was a winter snow scene.  So I kept the placement of the stream and tree the same and changed the season to summer.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

Country Stream measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord Panel.

Lavender Fields in acrylics

I was going looking through photos from my holiday to Tasmania a few years back and come across the view of the lavender fields at Bridestowe Estate so decided to paint it.  Really pleased with how the painting turned out.

River in the Forest in Acrylics

This  is my acrylic version of the earlier watercolour painting I did a while back.  I cropped the reference photo so that it focused more on the waterfall, opened up the river on the right hand side and  extended the background trees.  I am really pleased how the painting turned out.  The hardest part was coming up with a title - much easier when I paint an animal or bird as they name themselves.

River in the  Forest measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord Panel.




Many thanks to Robyn Lovelock for the reference photo.

Tranquil River in Acrylics

I really enjoyed painting this one.  Love the river bank.  I added the flowers as the reference photo just had a muddy rocky area.  I am rather pleased with the end result.

Tranquil River measures 7 x 5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Autumn Fields ACEO in acrylics

I changed this one a little bit when compared to the reference photo - decided to paint it in the autumn colours.  Much more colourful.  I might also paint a spring version of this scene as I like the setting.

Summers Day ACEO in acrylics

I love painting these little landscapes as I am free to paint it anyway I like and in this case I did use a lot of artistic licence to create this little painting.  They are fun to paint when I need a break from the detailed paintings I do and they give me ideas for future animal aceo's scenes.  I am rather pleased how this one turned out.

Summers Day measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches and is painting on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Hill Top ACEO in Acrylics

I have wanted to paint this scene for a while and finally decided to paint it as an aceo.  Wasn't sure how I was going to paint the long grass and then I thought an old bristle brush should do the job.  Worked really well. 

Hill Top measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.
