Water,Seascapes and River Art

Whether the painting is a seascape or view of a river or reflections in water, I find this subject comforting to paint and enjoy creating the watery effects. I love the drama and passion that can be captured with the big skies that sometimes form over the sea. I have a number of traditional pieces in this collection that draw on the cololurs of Turner and some essential Australian waterscenes. Some are river scenes from a holiday cruising on the waterways of Europe where there is a classic beauty to some of the scenes. I some I have used broken colours to enhance the story of the art. I hope you enjoy this collection.

Golden fields, a shady river’s reach and a clear Australian sky. The river is bordered by trees with flowing branches that appear to weep at the side of the river. You begin to contemplate all that they may have seen. It’s a quiet reflective piece that is soothing and calming.

With pink areas of interest set against beautiful emerald tones, this is a story of movement, fluidity and beauty. Everywhere you look there are pockets of colour to interpret and enjoy. There are soft intentional drips giving an added movement to the work and the Waterlilies have been created using a palette knife to keep the feeling of a glimpse or moment in time rather than accurate rendering. A painting to fall in love with and enjoy across all the seasons.

A wintry image with outlying farm buildings on the edge of a lake. There is an olde world feel to this piece with its gentle colour and calming air. There are two pines standing guard over the barn and the edges of the lake on both sides are tall and spare of leaves. I love the feel of this piece and I hope you enjoy it too.

The treatment of the scene elevates the piece to a modern take on an olde world, classic piece that has been given a fresh take.
