Three works in progress

from w
Peceli and I have both been painting the last week and here are three works in progress - based on the pictures I made from scanning stones, leaves, an opal picture, etc. Having trouble with the paint quality and the 'opal' so far. They seemed to have turned out as Earth, Fire, Water, instead of 'Nothing is lost' so there's much more work to be done on them. I can't get that luminous look of the pictures created through coloured light on the computer screen.

Two pictures - grass trees and Buckley's Falls

A friend kindly came and took digital photos of some of our paintings etc. so now they are on file and occasionally I can put one or two into this blog. Here are two: one is an acrylic of grass trees at the Geelong Botanical Gardens, on canvas and unframed. The other is a pastel on black paper, which is framed behind glass. It's of Buckley's Falls, Geelong. The latter has been on the wall a few years, but the one of grass trees was made in recent months.
