Hot off the Easel - Equus Series Continued...






This was an experiment - but I truely love it!
I am slowly finding my feet and moving away from a strict photo realistic style and trying to develop something slightly different,something that is me....its a fascinating and daunting process.My series with the horse continues, I already have another one started...

Finally....a new painting!







I was going to put away my paints and brushes for the year...but inspiration hit and I was drawn to this image and just had to paint it!
This is 45cm x 60cm in acrylic on canvas.
I am please with the finished result even if it is my very first painting of a horse!
I would like to do some more now - so I may even get one or two finished before Christmas.

Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse











Acrylic on Canvas
60cm x 30cm
unframed

We visited Seal Rocks a few weeks ago to snap some pics for future art works. This one is of the Lighthouse at Seal Rocks NSW.
Its a very pretty spot on the coast - quite a historic spot.
We were lucky enough to see some whales off the coastline when we were there - but the walk up to the lighthouse is not for the light hearted - it's quite a hike!

"Indian Root Pills"









This is an iconic image from my childhood - This barn can be found near Morpeth which is a small village near Newcastle.
My parents had friends who lived not far away from this place and I remember it well as we would drive by it many times when I was a little girl.
It intrigued me - what were Indian Root Pills?
This barn and the sign has had its good days and bad over the years and I am glad to see that money has been spent to conserve it.
Many years ago I drove past it and the sign was hardly visible and the barn in terrible condition.
I could not resist painting it - it is one of those childhood memories that automatically can take me back to being 10 years old in a second.
