Paintings from the very beginning of my journey

This is a collection of artworks I've created over the years, beginning from August 2012 using oils, followed by watercolours from July 2013 and artworks using acrylics plus mixed media projects I began creating from January 2014.
It's like a journal showcasing the eclectic range of artworks I have created over the years till the end of 2017 as well as showing those that went to lovely new homes.

Created by Monika Scheffler

a serene landscape under light blue skies and distant mountain ranges, a white country homestead surrounded by tall trees and shrubs giving it a secluded feel like a sanctuary or retreat with a dirt track leading to it with grasses, shrubs and some trees as viewed from the Princes Highway

This is a vibrant painting of pink Oriental Lilies against a colourful abstract background of blues and greens with some touches of yellows and pink, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Texture was created using visible brushstrokes adding movement to the composition. I love how the painting has an overall feel of being lively and colourful.
