Thank you everyone for the comments.

Managed some quiet time on my easel From photos taken while on a walk near Shepherds lookout, Canberra. Pastelmat 30x40cm mostly Sennelier, some Remmys. Its not 100% accurate but close. I feel like I finally managed an "abstracted-realism" feel of the mid-deeper landscape. Odd that the photo...

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Hi Folks. Its been a long time, with a lot of turmoil between, but here´s a scene to remember, for me at least. Just thought I would post this, of a moment of peace. Plein aire of path through a greenway in Canberra not far from my sons house. From the greenway with views into the distant...

Hi Donna we have been travelling. Thanks for your input, appreciated

Hi folks, mildly peeved. Opened a new 38 ml tube of Faber Rowney zinc white gouache and out comes heaps of binder!!! After swearing, I mixed by picking the handle of a brush down and squishing about, messy. I suspect that hanging on the rack by the cap allows separation. I've never had this much...

Cool shapes and colour combo, I like it.

Hi folks, very quick gouache, at least for me, about 90 minutes. On WC paper 10x15 cm from a web photo of Jackson Pollock. Such a face, you really see his torment in the photo. I think it's an ok likeness, I see errors, but, as a quick study, I did not expect much. I guess I'm aiming for quick...

Hump. Art is not binary! I think this is entirely the wrong question to ask, especially of a group of various artists with many "styles". Is this a thesis proposal? Art is entirely personal, emotive, attractant or "repulsive", harsh but there it is. Why, who the heck knows, it's a human baggage...

Bright and cheerful as always Bart, really like those hills.

I'm with Paintboss and think this is a lovely interpretation. Soft lighting works. In a way I'm perfectly happy with the unfinished appearance, it brings focus to the main subject. Very nice work.
