Old Cremorne

Watercolour and Ink 15 x 10cm
This is located in Mosman Bay, South just near the Old Cremorne wharf.  There is a delightful footpath used by joggers, hikers and strollers taking their dogs for a walk.  It is just along from here that we sighted a Water Dragon taking the sun.

McKell Park

Watercolour and ink 15 x 10cm
This Park is an absolute gem.  It is reached by the Darling Point Ferry with views over the harbour and despite the day being beautiful, there were hardly any people in the park.  My friend and I were able to set up our paints without tourists or locals wishing to tell us they have a close relative who also paints!

Japanese Bridge

Ink and watercolour 10 x 15cm
I did three efforts of this bridge and of course the first, done on cartridge in a note book was the freshest and most successful.  The better the paper the tighter I became.

Alchemy

Watercolour 21.5 x 26.5cm
I have caught a little bit of sunlight in this painting so I think "Alchemy" is an apt choice for a title. I am also reminded of all the alchemist's bottles and specimen jars.
