Frida Kahlo

Yes she has been painted a million times, but I couldn't help myself and wanted to be the million and oneth (not a word and i dont care) to paint her. She is such a striking beauty - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo and i hope that I captured some of that with my 12 inches x 12 inches painting -

Photo taken at night, so of course colours are not as true. Painting will be framed in a black frame :-) and is for sale.

Girl in the Garden

Girl In the Garden - 39 inches wide x 32 inches high. to be framed in a gold frame and is painted on wood (my new favourite medium). Butterflies have gold leaf on them, so dont photograph very well.

Time for an update

Thinking about selling this one... hmmmm maybe

Grungy Angel

Canvas is sized 24 inch x 24 inch.

she's a lot grungier than i was originally going to make her, but i like the texture and affect.

New Canvas

Flowers of Pink and Pearl - 36 inch x 24 inch. Taken me 6 months to finish, but finally done!! For an exhibition at our local Westpac Bank. Yes these beads are all hand stitched into the canvas, hence why it has taken 6 months. I want to do another, but this time have it more grungier and a little less pretty.

Talk about blog neglect

Yep that's what's been happening with me lately. Art get's put to the back of the want/need list, when I'm working 5 days a week, with 2 children, a dog and a husband and not necessarily in that order either ;-).

But I have been working for 2 months on the painting below (off and on) for a friend of mine who has just recently opened a hair dressing salon in town from her home.

I was completely thrilled and blown away that she liked my work enough to ask me to do a painting for her.

anyway here it is - titled "Teigans Place".

more art to share

My second Buddha, which I completed last week... this one has been sold :-)




My latest canvas titled - Just a Pear -

It's been a LONG time in between posts :-)

Latest painting 8 x 10 inches on canvas board. Am going to frame this in a black frame... I am also working on another Buddha painting with different colours.

Paintings for my Son's Bedroom

The above painting was made from a sketch my son did which you can see below. I wanted to make something a little more personal.




As I wasn't completely happy with the first painting (I wasn't overly excited about the background) I decided to do a second one.



Thanks for taking the time to look.

Pink Frangi's

My latest canvas which is 30 inch x 24 inch. Pleased with this one, as it's a commission for a friend, so wanted it to be 'right'.
