Its been a long time since I have entered an exhibition. I manaaged to get organised enough to enter into my art societies November one this year with three works. Two of them are acrylic (Wattle and Sunset) and one is oil (The River). I haven’t been able to enter anything much this year focusing […]

Miniature Paintings
Back in June I mentioned these miniature canvases that I found and recently I have painted many more. As you can see from the picture above there are around 15 for sale at the moment but I have also decided to take commissions for these. This is the blurb I wrote to go with the […]
New Brochure
I have been trying everything online that I can think of to get my art out there into the big wide world. Tweeting will bring in views for my paintings but no actual sales. I am taking a new angle this week starting with the creation of a flyer advertising my online presence. I am […]
Busy Bee
I’ve been quite the busy artist over the last few months. Acrylic painting has been the main focus and I have been uploading quite a few paintings to BlueThumb. I have really enjoyed digging into my photo archives from our various road trips and using them as references for new work. Here’s a few paintings […]
Miniature Artwork Motivation

A few weeks ago I was shopping with my girls and noticed these unusual canvases. Normally I don’t buy tiny canvases but these ones have magnets on the back so I was intrigued. If you have read my last blog post you may have seen that I was finding it hard to find my motivation […]
Paintings so far 2017
My studio work this year has been a bit less than usual. I’m not entirely sure why, it may have something to do with inspiration and motivation but I’m not sure. I have continued on happily with the 52 week illustration challenge and have been selected a couple of times for their blog picks but […]
John Olsen, The You Beaut Country
Last week while my Mum was visiting Sydney we were able to go along to the John Olsen retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW. My knowledge of John Olsen’s work was limited before going. I had seen his work in documentaries and books but I probably wouldn’t have remembered his name if I […]
Road Trip 2016/17- Part 5 Day 34-35
Driving away from Tamworth the scenery was beautiful. Rolling hills and greenery which is typical of northern New South Wales. I think that part of NSW might be my favourite. We decided to make one more stop overnight on our way home despite the fact that we could have driven straight home from there. We […]
Road Trip 2016/17- Part 5 Day 32-33
After a lovely night at Mount Morgan we packed up and set off for our next stop, Goondiwindi. We were hoping to visit a couple there of which the husband is also a Congregational church minister. The only reason we went inland was to visit them. It was hot, inland Queensland is a hot place […]
Road Trip 2016/17- Part 5 Day 30-31
After a lovely time in Lucinda we headed south towards our next stop Proserpine. This was the area we went through on the way up that was flooded. On our way there we stopped for lunch at a place called Alligator Creek. It was a dry area which showed us how much the landscape was […]
