Well another term has passed by in no time at all.  One of the projects we worked on was reflections in the rain.  I managed to complete 2 pieces and the 3rd piece was a little extra I did at home of a local hot spot.  The little car piece was my first branching out into oils which was very exciting (and I must admit I am liking the feel of oils very much I think I've found myself a new favourite medium).  Hope you enjoy, all pieces are available for sale so please visit my website for prices and more information.

This term at Splashout we've been given a bit of free reign in our projects with some loose guidelines as to subject matter and choices of entry point.  I actually find this quite challenging as I end up with so many different ideas of what I want to do and how I want to do it I end up getting bamboozled by it all. But this in itself is a great learning curve.   Anyway, out of 4 pieces which we are suppose to get finished (with a possible 5th), I've managed to complete 3 so far.  My 1st one (theme "Industrial") and my 3rd piece finished today (theme "reflections") I'm happy with.  My 2nd piece (theme "figurative") was a disaster - just didn't feel the love when that one was finished, so I've now painted over it.  (You win some, you destroy some haha).  And tomorrow I hope to start on my 4th piece (theme "coastal).  Variety is good - unless you try different genres you just don't know what you may or may not like.  I've really enjoyed doing both the industrial and reflections ones - maybe it has something to do with buildings!  So here is my latest "River Torrens at Night"  $350 (76x76cm)

My latest commissioned caricature done for a repeat client.  This one is her nieces new horse and goes with the previous piece of her niece and old horse.  I hope she enjoys it as much as the first one and I wish her a happy belated birthday
