Works on canvas with mixed media… big bold squares with limited palette . I’ve used oil paint with different mediums and knives. After a period of bright colour, I welcome a more restricted palette

Monday back in the studio
I’m feeling more motivated to paint now that the air has cleared ! This is a summer no one will forget! Anyway, let’s be optimistic and learn !! Here are a few works I’ve revisited and lightened up. 



2 large canvas works
Blue watery themes for these 2 abstract friends especially with Art Gallery on Palm Beach in mind. Earthy tones in sienna are a nice contrast for blues ….mainly indanthrene blue by Liquitex,

Solo Show Art Gallery on Darling, Balmain 27/11-01/12
Always nice to see paintings hanging together happily. 

Reservoir series
2 large canvas paintings with watery influences. 

Texture and colour on 1m square canvas
An interesting conversation today between me and these paintings! It was quite a dark dull day outside but a day well spent in the studio. 

2 large canvas works
Monday studio time spent on these 2 large guys. More paint, varied brushstrokes, soft pastel drawing all make for interesting work. 

Apollo
Painting was completed as the beautiful full moon was rising on 17/7 ….50 years on. This is a reworked canvas with more life and light I think. 
2 colorful squares
A playful duo! Mixed media 

Aqua work on paper
Enjoyed the melange of turquoise, raw umber, black and white . Limited colour is a challenge I enjoy. ![]()
