Over the school summer holidays, we took a short trip up to Hervey Bay with the kids. I was inspired to create some abstract watercolour paintings based on the photographs we took while we were there. As you can tell, the idea was not to try to faithfully recreate the photos, but rather use them as a point of inspiration. I really enjoyed working on these, and want to try this painting style again.
It’s been a while since I’ve put brush to paper, and I really enjoyed painting this one. The yellows, oranges, and pinks in the sky make me think of a warm summer afternoon.
Original painting is available for purchase in my Etsy store. Prints and products like the ones featured below are available at Redbubble.
The inspiration for this painting was a posy of wildflowers, picked in the spring and beginning to dry and wilt as spring moves in to summer. Painted in shimmery gold paint, this painting is prettier in person than it is on the screen!

I called this painting ‘contemplation’ because this style of painting is very meditative to me. I never know what the finished painting is going to be like when I begin – I just go with the flow, and see where the paint takes me. I love this combination of colours!

I really had fun creating this piece! I let the water and paint flow down the page, creating a background that grew organically, and then added my details later.

I love holidays! I’ve been getting so much done 🙂
Today I’m delivering a commissioned painting to its new owner. I’m looking forward to seeing it on the wall!
I have been working on a large triptych for a friend, and doing a few watercolours.
“Summer Field”
“Bright December Day”
“Growing Family”
Hopefully in the next few days I’ll be posting up some new wearable art pendants too 🙂
