Been Surfing

It was a gorgeous day, so I decided to go out for a day trip to Anglesea. I had been to Anglesea before but hadn't had the time to go visit the beach, but sure glad I went this day. The weather was lovely and so too was the water, the sand and the Cliffs. I was sitting on the beach with my picnic lunch and spotted these two people walking passed, I think the colourful towel that one of them was wrapped in and the way she snuggled into it grabbed my attention, and as an artist I wanted to capture the moment on canvas.

My name is Franciska Howard and art is my passion.

I have been attending weekly art lessons with William Kerr since 2009 and I have also undertaken some workshops with Kasey Sealy, Ray Hewitt, David Payne, Caroline Lewellen and Ben Winspear. I also have learnt a great deal from viewing art tutorials on You Tube.

I paint mainly with oils and occasionally I have tried pastel painting. I am striving to paint paintings that depict the subject matter in a not so formal way, and to use broken colour. I enjoy a variety of subject matters, and am fortunate to live in such an inspiring locale, full of nature, history, and beaches.

Each time I pick up my brush it brings me one step closer to understanding the process of creating art, and also that there is always something new for me to learn. It makes creating art a continually evolving journey of discovery, which has me totally obsessed.
