  I love painting Australian flora, and I feel they particularly lend themselves to the loose style of watercolour painting. Above is "Banksias in Field". I have made a YouTube video showing the process of painting some loose waratahs and banksias - seen below: Other Australian flora loose watercolour paintings include my proteas in a vase which is shown below. All of these paintings are available on my Square website for purchase.

It's been a great and sunny weekend here in Melbourne. I was able to go for a walk in the glorious sunshine over the last two days and in between I have been painting hydrangeas! I love the colours of hydrangeas, whether they complement or contrast (above). My first painting showed complementing colours of three hydrangeas in pink, blue and purple. My second painting showed a group of three hydrangeas in my fave contrasting colours of blue and yellow/green. I will be painting more hydrangeas in the future as they are so fun to paint, so stay tuned for more. If you haven't already, please drop into my Square website and have a look and if you could follow me that would be a great support. Thank you lovelies!  

  Hellow everyone, hope you all had a good week. I have been working hard this week and am looking forward to the weekend. We had a birthday mid-week, and will continue celebrating this weekend. I am not sure if I will have time to paint, but last weekend I launched my art on Blue Thumb - take a look if you have time! As Nelson Mandela said, “Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” I would like to change that to, “Do not judge me by my failures, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” or, "Do not judge me at all, I am just doing what I love!"

  Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope to show a few of my artworks here. I live in Australia with a lifelong love of the creative arts. I have played with scrapbooking, cardmaking, and lately watercolour painting. I love creating pieces of art which I turn into cards or wall art. I love painting loose florals and calligraphy and other things that inspire me.  I have maintained a love of art and creating art ever since my teens. Even though I did not have the opportunity to formally study art, I create when I have the chance and the inspiration. I have learned watercolour painting online through various courses, and have fallen in love with it.  I started my love of art when I was in high school, when I took art as an 'O' Level subject (Year 10) in the then British colony of Hong Kong. I loved drawing botanicals in junior school, and dabbled in portraits and figure drawings during high school. At high school fetes, together with a friend, we would run portrait stalls and mak...
