Blackman Bay, TAS


I have just been to Hobart and spent 6 days there staying at a delightful spot overlooking Blackmans Bay.  Fortunately I took my water colours with me and was able to do a number of quick sketches.
It is such a beautiful spot and depending on the weather the colours are always changing.

Jacaranda season, Callan Park

These are a couple of quick water colour sketches done, plein air, on a hot day. By the time I had done these the clouds were moving in and the sky was nearly the same colour as the Jacarandas.  We packed up just before the first rain drop fell.

This is Homebush railway station.
I didn't actually stand on the station platform to paint this but used the aid of a photograph.
