Artwork Description

Artist quality watercolours on 300gsm cotton watercolour paper.
I enjoy painting watercolours in a very loose, expressive way, letting the pigments mingle with the water, to see the different textures and lines that are created as the paints dry. This one was painted on the verandah of a holiday unit, with water lapping and the smell of the ocean all around. It conveys a sense of the underwater colours seen while snorkelling the quiet spaces, where only the colour of the water surrounds.
The painting will need framing behind glass and will look best behind a matt border as shown in the in situ images. The painting has a small border around the edge. This painting will fit many standard off the shelf frames.

Proud to be a finalist 2026 Paddington Painting Prize!

I have been making art for a few years now, and I'm now doing it full-time. I'm loving the artist journey, and am proud to be one of bluethumb's top sellers. I have a large array of artwork available. I paint a lot, and enjoy exploring watercolour, oil and cold wax medium, acrylic paintings and mixed media as well as printmaking. Some of my work is on paper, others canvas or board. Perhaps you'd like to click on "follow" and hear about new work as it is listed.

I take inspiration from the coastal landscape around Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, as well as more diverse landscape from travels across Australia and beyond. I love to paint expressively and sometimes abstractly to capture the feeling, colour and detail of locations. I also delve into still life, abstract portraits, urban landscapes and florals.

I am constantly adding to my art education through many classes, online and in person, and through intensive art experiences , with guidance and mentoring from many fabulous artists.

In February 2025 I retired from a long professional career working in research in the area of family studies.
