Glowing Reeds

I regularly walk along the creek with my dog and this morning was particularly glorious, I was able to see the sun just coming up over the horizon and I saw the effect the sunlight had created on the reeds. The contrast from the darkness of the shadows to the areas catching the light was a definite eye catcher. Glad I was there to experience it.

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.
