Works in progress

Here is another one I am working on at the moment - another landscape and I've thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I spent a day on the local beaches taking some reference shots and decided to turn a couple of them into paintings. I still have a fair bit of work to do on the sand and trees but it's coming together nicely.

Red Kangaroos

I've started a new painting of red kangaroos. I thought for something different I'd do them from the back view, so as to concentrate on the texture of their fur. I'm a little undecided about the background at this stage so I decided to block in the roos and I'll choose my background when I'm happy with the animals.

Mallabulla

Just finished this seascape of one of the local beaches at Mallabulla in Port Stephens.

Lillies - Completed.

Here are the lillies finished. I didn't overdo the lillies in the forground because I wanted to keep the main focus of the drawing as the reflection. Hope you like it.

Works in Progress - Lillies

Just a quick update photo - the painting is coming along well, I have put in the reflection of the jetty and the clouds. I have started to put in the lillies randomly. Still a few more adjustments to make before it is finished.

New Painting - Lillies

After a recent stay at Eaglereach Wilnerness retreat, I have a mountain of location shots that I have been eager to turn into paintings. As a break from the tawnys, I started on this painting. The reflections in the water on this still morning were amazing. I have started putting in the main body of water and have put the base in for the boards on the jetty. The lillies, will go in as the last step once I have all the reflections in place.
