Somewhere in Paradise

Somewhere in Paradise has been created inspired by nature and my love of the tropics. I love using bold contrasting colours and this piece has just that. Based loosely from photos taken over the years while living in the tropics I have tried to capture the relaxed serene feeling you get when walking the beach and the calming effect of the ocean.
This is an original painting on 380gsm triple primed stretched canvas which is ready to hang. There is only one original which is signed by me front and back.

Born in the 60’s I was fortunate enough to grow up in beautiful Tasmania and as a self taught artist am inspired by the beauty and colours of nature. My passion for art started as a child when I spent countless hours watching my mother paint beautiful landscapes in oils and I would try to replicate her work with my coloured pencils. (Never quiet looked the same tho)! My brother is also a talented artist who produces some stunning paintings working predominately in watercolours and is my number one critique. My works are created using acrylic and oil paints on canvas and I also get great pleasure doing pet portraits in graphite and coloured pencil.
My passion for art has developed tenfold in the past couple of years with focus on improving my skills. I enjoy learning from and sharing techniques with other artists and am a member of the Launceston Art Society which enables me to participate in exhibitions and workshops to expand my knowledge. I think one of the key elements of a good painting is brush time; with the onset of Covid restrictions I have made a point of painting every day and will continue on the same course post Covid as “practice makes perfect”.
