Painting at Possum Park Miles

Well this has been a very productive month for painting, it’s been good to sit down and learn some new skills. I’ve used water colour for the first time which was very trying and a little hard for me to get used to. Incase you didn’t read my last blog then this converted train carriage… Read More Painting at Possum Park Miles

Staying at Possum Park Miles

For the past month I’ve been staying at Possum Park near Miles, 5hr drive south west of Bundaberg Queensland. A few months ago I spent two nights here camping and got talking to the owners and struck up a deal to come back for a month in exchange for one of may framed paintings. What… Read More Staying at Possum Park Miles

More Camping at Wuruma Dam

After a heavy night I was rudely awoken by eager fisher men slamming every possible caravan and car door. Why people have to start there car and leave it running while they throw everything into the boat is beyond me. At Wuruma Dam there is plenty red claw to be had, thats if you know… Read More More Camping at Wuruma Dam

Camping at Wuruma Dam

After visiting Agnes Water for 3 days I was trying to resupply my stocks and avoid the rain that was brought in by a cyclone off the coast. Madness hadn’t quite arrive at the coastal town of Agnes Waters so I was able to get all of my camping supplies for the next week including… Read More Camping at Wuruma Dam

Camping at Agnes Water

Well the past few weeks I’ve been driving around Queensland, staying close to home because I’ve got an art exhibition in May, at Gatakers Artspace Maryborough. Unfortunately I’ve just been informed that the opening night, meet and greet has been cancelled as large gathering’s are no longer permitted. Trying to stay positive I’m recapping on… Read More Camping at Agnes Water

Burrow the Wombat in Gouache

Just after I photographed this wombat at Australia Zoo, he came racing down the hill to a gate. I thought he was going to be fed by his speed, to my surprise he was going for a walk, so I managed to get a much closer encounter than I was expecting. I also found out… Read More Burrow the Wombat in Gouache

Three Wrens in Gouache

I’ll start this blog off with how these little bird painting came about. As you can see below is a full sheet of Archers cold pressed 300g paper, once torn into sheets you get roughly 6 A4 sheets and two small strips left over. I tore the two strips in to smaller squares and this… Read More Three Wrens in Gouache

Koala painted in Gouache

This painting of a koala is taken from one of my photos while I was visiting Australia Zoo about 3 months ago. I usually start with the eyes and noses of animals, and beaks if I’m painting a bird. Then if I’m happy I move on to complete the painting. As I started painting rather… Read More Koala painted in Gouache
