Leisurely Sunday stroll

                                          Took a while but I am pleased with the result.

"Montsalvat Charm" - Pastel

This one has taken me a bit longer than usual. Still enjoyed it though (most of the time).

"Radiance"

Another pastel that almost drove me crazy, but I do like the result.

Lilypond - Montsalvat

Here is my latest pastel. It's OK, but not my favourite. It is not quite as yellow as shown.

"Charlie"

Portrait of my grandson. Very pleased with this one.

Jake and Kata

Took many hours to achieve this. Because of the size was unable to copy, so had to photograph, therefore the quality is not as good as it should be. I think it gives a fair idea of the portrait though.

Misty morning Thornton again

Another painting of Thornton from a different angle.

Sunlit stairs - Montsalvat - SOLD

This was a bit of a challenge. Not really an expert at doing straight lines freehand, but am quite pleased with the result.

"ARCHER"

This is the latest graphite drawing, my 4th grandson, Archer. I am really pleased with this one even though it took a lot longer to do. It seems the younger kids are, the more difficult it is to capture those baby qualities.

OSCAR -SOLD

This is my latest pastel. Oscar is one of my cats. Like all cats he is curious about a lot of things and I think I have captured this in his eyes.I rather enjoyed doing this one.

The Moorings Mornington

Liked doing this one too.

Misty Morning Thornton - SOLD

Starting to like pastel. I really enjoyed doing this.

Still life - Oils

My teacher wanted me to paint glass and metal, so thought I'd put them in the same painting and get them out of the way. Not really into still life. Anyway here's the result.

Echuca - pastel

I thought I'd have a go at pastels. This is my first one. Reasonably happy with it, but can see the faults.

"Ollie"

This is my latest oil. It is the partner to "Ruby".

"Daniel"

Another graphite drawing, this time of grandson No.2. I am thoroughly enjoying this medium.

Ruby

My daughter-inlaw has a little schitzu/maltese terrier (Ruby) who she treats like a child, so thought I would paint her. Now I have to do the cat!!

My Mum

This is an oil I did of my deceased Mum. The photo was really bad, so had to do a lot from memory. The end result really does look like her.

Earlier graphite drawing

This is a graphite drawing I did acouple of years ago of Charlie, grandson number 3. I think you can see the improvement I have made when you compare with the drawing of Jack.

Jack Graphite drawing

This is a graphite I did of my grandson for an art show. It is actually on white paper. Unfortunately my scanner wouldn't pick up the softer tones, so I had to photograph it and it turned out blue.
