Gouache 21 x 29.7cm
Well the forecast today is for a max of 34 with 55% humidity. Its currently 28, so Summer seems an appropriate theme and title.

Beach, Clareville

Australia Day and hot and humid in the studio! Hardly anyone there because all the sensible people have gone on holiday or are at the beach!

Clareville Beach
Gouache 29.7 x 42cm. Sold
These paintings are as a result of a plein air visit to Clareville on a beautiful overcast summer's day last weekend. Because of the high humidity it was very hazy and it struck me that the colours I was viewing were quite limited. So I have limited my palate to white, Burnt Sienna, yellow and blue.

Island
Oil Paint on board 45 x 60cm
This is a return to oil paint after some months only painting with water colours, ink, gouache or drawing.
I do enjoy oils; it has a plasticity and sensual feel to it. However I do not enjoy the clean up afterwards.
With this painting I have been using water colour sketches as my reference. I find the danger in using photographic references, is that I get too motivated by the image. The water colour sketches already have a looseness and are one step removed from what I am seeing.
