July catchup

Winter has arrived at the beach. Cold nights but beautiful sunny days. How about this for a stunning late evening glow. Sunset on the beach. I often want to paint scenes like this but really, I couldn’t do it justice. I love the contrast of the dark trees against the colours in the sky. TheContinueContinue reading “July catchup”

Into July

I joined Tauranga Urban Sketchers for their morning sketching. It was a beautiful old villa on Cambridge road. Originally moved there from Dannevirk. Restored and added onto but I found a corner to sit and draw. About an hour into it the rain came down. Villa.

Moving into March. 2022

Welcome all my followers. We are enjoying a beautiful long hot summer. The kind I love. Lots of days walking on the beach and swimming in the 22deg.C water. (So I saw today). To immerse yourself in the sea and float on the waves is so good for the soul. I’m not looking forward toContinueContinue reading “Moving into March. 2022”

Part of the weekend was also spent painting outdoors with the Watercolour NZ artists at the paintaway weekend in Oakura, Taranaki. It rained most of the time but most people were able toContinueContinue reading “December delight”

Sunny November

I have often wondered how good it would be to have a solo exhibition. Now I know. It’s a lot of work but so rewarding, especially when it’s held in Hawera, the town of my birth. Monday night 8th November was opening night for my Watercolour Reflections, Past and Present exhibition. I have been preparingContinueContinue reading “Sunny November”

October and it’s springtime.

Although springtime usually motivates me to paint, I haven’t. I can share some work with you though. While sitting on the beach the other day I did some plein air painting. Rocks on the Beach Seaview One thing I’ve noticed about plein air painting, it always seems lighter when you come inside!! The sea, sand,ContinueContinue reading “October and it’s springtime.”

September and Lockdown again.

I thought when we went into lockdown this time I would get lots of painting done and all the household chores that are constantly waiting for me. Instead the motivation left the household and we preferred to sit about, reading, watching tv and making melting moments. I did do some paintings of the beach forContinueContinue reading “September and Lockdown again.”

Full tide at Waihi Beach The exhibition by the Unlimited Palette artists is hanging in Maddox Jewellers on the Main St inContinueContinue reading “August at the Beach.”
