Heritage Farm Day 1

This watercolour shows a road, cut into the hillside and going past a house.

The Road Home

Once I moved to Brisbane (from Adelaide) I started to paint in watercolour with Frank De Silva’s classes. However after a few years I moved on to acrylics and finally discovered the magic of oil paint. Fungus attack is the chief disadvantage of watercolours in the humid atmosphere of Brisbane. Watercolours should be deframed and inspected for foxing every few years, that is my reason for moving on to oils. I have selected some watercolour paintings for this post after looking back through my photos, I hope you enjoy seeing them.

Poppies

This watercolour is of a rickety old shed leaning slightly towards the viewer.

Exhibition

My next art exhibition will be at the Metcalfe Gallery, Brisbane Institute of Art in March 2024. Please send me a note so I can remind you before my exhibition starts, Christine.

This watercolour is of a group of men and their horses waiting for the heritage farm day event to get started. The men gossip while they wait.

This gouache painting of a woodheap has been included with the watercolours as it's a bit of an orphan.
