Water colour painting of paddocks in the Pearcedale area on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Taken from photos done on a "reseach walk" around the area. |
|
When walking long the road from our property are our neighbour's paddocks I noticed the change of light over these paddocks as the sun was getting low in the sky. They have a dam which usually has ducks happily floating on it and from the road there is often a good scene as the sun sets and the colours change. On this day the colours were particularly good. |
|
The painting has been very well received by all who have viewed it and I am pleased that the water colours came out as I had planned. It is a medium that I have frankly avoided until recently as it is a very different disciplin to oils and pastels. |
|
After attending many demonstrations by leading artists using the medium, I finally got up the nerve to try again with more dedication. I am happy that with each attempt I am improving and also happy with my results, such as this work. |
