Camden Art Award
I was so chuffed to hear that my painting “Sweet Resilience” won the Committee’s Choice Award at the recent Camden Art Exhibition. It was made even more rewarding to hear that it had sold on opening night. The work is an acrylic on stretched canvas. The beauty and stamina of the beautiful banksia and the…

People’s Choice in Goulburn
Just wandering down Memory Lane when I came across this one. These two kookaburras often visit my garden. In 2023, the painting took out the People’s Choice award at the major exhibition in the Goulburn Workers Club. Apparently, it was streets ahead in the voting. I must admit that I was so very pleased with…
Read MoreElsa in Italy
I do enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of loved pets. There should be another word for pets which are loved family members. This portrait of Elsa, a Miniature Schnauzer, was interesting, demanding and exciting. The clients are wonderful people. Their Italian souls are full and out there.

I was inspired to paint this when I caught a lovely photo of my vibrant granddaughter in a thoughtful moment. There is so much sparkle in her. I have called it “Golden Threads” which are those which are tied to my heart. I believe in auras – feelings, not something that is easy to define.…

Read MoreThe Cliffs of Moher – Acrylic Art
Some years ago, Mike and I had the absolute fortune to travel in Ireland. It was as wonderful as we had heard and hoped to experience. One of the many outstanding places we visited were the ancient Cliffs of Moher. Its mystical beauty was something we will never forget. The brilliant emerald green grasses atop…

This cheeky visitor spent some time on this branch just checking out other birds which were a tad annoyed to see him in the area. He was not the slightest bit concerned at the constant objections of noisy miners, magpies and currawongs. In fact he seemed to be smiling at their wasted efforts to chase…
Read MoreChecking the Menu….Kookaburras at Lunch
On a wonderful day in NE NSW, we were fortunate to come across these three locals. They were not in the least bit interested in our presence and continued watching something hiding in the grasses. There was nothing hurried. Life was good and they were in the prime of life. So comfortable and safe, they…
