Life in color

You will find a selection of water color paintings here, while many of them have been created for an upcoming exhibition I have made them availble to you at special pre-exhibition prices, unframed. This makes them easy to post and you can frame them to suit your decor.
If you would like to have a water color created to your special needs I do take commissions.

Enjy your visit to this little 'gallery' and have a joyful festive season.

Wood carver

Every village has at least one village celebration per year. Not far from home is the village of St Capri, their speciality is the Chest nut fete in autumn. You can taste almost every version of chest nut recipe imaginable. Still the best is freshly toasted chestnuts with cold beer. No matter where we go we are still Australian! :-)
The local cafts people come out to show their wares at these festivals. I was particularly taken be this man as he looked like he was carving a digerydoo, but as it turned out it is an ancient version of fire bellows. Your lungs are the bellows and this instrument is used to direct your 'hot air' into the fire. Well even in ancient times they didn't want to burn off their eyebrows now did they!
The other really neat thing is the brace used to steady the wood is a roughly carved lump of tree with his left foot pushing down on a 'branch' to wedge it all in place while working.

enchanted stream

Enchanted stream holds much magic for me it is a crytal clear, icy cold stream 'teaming' with rainbow trout. A delightful place to cool off on one of those very hot summer days. Mind you the water is a shock to the system even in summer. Just to sit and listen to the water tumbling over the rocks and watch the fish swimming has an immediate calming feeling. A blissful place, it holds something special as it's where I was painting when I first encounted my darling husband. ahh the joy of life!
