Have Faith in You!

New Zealand you stole our hearts and took our breath away!

WARNING - there are a lot of photo's below...

I did try to reduce them from 100's to only a few

but it was damn near impossible to not want to 

show every single one of them to you. 

New Zealand you stole our hearts and 

took our breath away!

No.2 Child - teaching them young (selfies)... 

no seriously we just

couldn't resist stopping the car to take another 

photo of some beautiful scenery!

No.1 Child also taking photo's of beautiful scenery.

Glacier tour in Mt Cook

The best ice cream you've ever tasted!

Queenstown

More Queenstown photo's(our favourite place)

just before the Shotover Jet Boat Ride.

After the Shotover. We loved it so much that we

did it twice.

We didn't meet the Duke and Duchess, they were a week

or so before us, but we did see some photo's on the wall of fame.

More Queenstown

The Autumn colours just sing to you

my two on the ski lift to go further up Bob's Peak

to reach the top of the Luge Track

View from the top of the Skyline Gondala on Bob's Peak

there are natural water falls every where. 

New Zealand is not called the "land of the long white cloud" for nothing

and lastly off road Quad biking in Franz Josef. LOADS of fun!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

in a few days, I will be heading to this great 

country for a holiday with my family. 

First we hit Christchurch and 

then do a tour of the

South Island of New Zealand.

To say I'm excited is an understatement.

So it will be a little quiet around these

parts for about 2 weeks.

Hope to share a few happy snaps 

when we get back.

Autumn Dayz - From Start to Finish

For those who aren't aware, I live in the 

Pilbara - Western Australia.

Our weather here is a little different to the rest 

of Western Australia. Our summers are extremely hot 

and dry and our winters are more like

spring weather. 

So currently in the Pilbara we are in 

the season of Autumn. However when I think of 

colours that relate to Autumn in the Pilbara,

I don't think of oranges and browns with 

a hint of green. I think more along the line of different

 shades of reds, with maybe a little hint of orange and green. 

Here is my version of a windy day in the Pilbara in Autumn.

"Autumn Dayz"  

36 x 48 inches

above is how the background looked after I had

finished adding my spray paints

and acrylics

Then I brayered on some white paint

Above is after I had covered it with

 a layer of Gel Medium

and stained it red

Adding the tree

Close up of the trunk texture

  

and once the blossoms have been added

and finally I had a little fun with

Pixlr and created my own little

poster using this painting

as always thank you for taking the time

to read my blog
