Painting: "Inspired but Grounded"
"Inspired but Grounded" was inspired by a masked abstract called "Wisps" by English artist Amanda Hone, who I found on EBSQ Self Representing Artists.
I didn't use masking tape for this. For the figures I used a cardboard template, which I first drew then cut out.
"Inspired but Grounded" is one of my most popular paintings, even though it took less time to create than my other artwork. Perhaps its popularity has to do with the fun/play factor - I painted it with more abandon than is my usual painting style.
It's acrylic on thick watercolour paper, professionally framed, 8 1/2" x 12 1/2" (21.5cm x 31.5cm), and is AUD350 (350 Australian dollars).
It's one of a pair of paintings actually: these are the ladies; the other shows the 'blokes'!

Painting: "Childhood Memory Tree"
Today I'm taking the plunge - I'm showing you one of my paintings.
"Childhood Memory Tree" was exhibited locally in March.
My mother has always kept a wonderful garden. In this painting you can see some of the flora which made up my childhood, both in our garden and on our farm, in south east Queensland: guava, honeysuckle, frangipani, scotch thistle, pomegranate, dandelion, hibiscus, buttercup, and plumbago - along with a Wanderer (Monarch) butterfly, and a Willy Wagtail. That's me in the apron, with my younger sister.
"Childhood Memory Tree" is in acrylic on ready-to-hang 45 cm (about 18") square canvas, but is now in my sister's private collection!
