This year has involved a lot of travel, and very little time for painting. However, here are some of the works I have had time to complete. I have been taking painting lessons with Anne Collings in Wodonga, which have been very helpful in improving my use of colour.
The following two abstracts were inspired by the hot bubbling mud pools and hot water pools of Yellowstone National Park.

This painting was inspired by a photo taken at a cafe in Annandale Sydney, where I was quite taken by the shape of their water flask, and the bright oranges of the OJ and the coffee cup.

My daughter is a keen fisherwoman, and this paintings was inspired by her recent fishing trip to WA.

I am a member of the Albury Wodonga Artists Society, and this painting was painted for an exhibition of local icons. The painting was inspired by a photo I took at sunrise, as the sun came up over East Albury.

This painting was inspired by some recent trips into the mountains near Falls Creek, and Mount Hotham. I love the use of strong colour, and the mountain stream reminds me of some wonderful camping holidays around Lightning and Snowy Creeks on the Omeo Highway.

This painting was inspired by a digital work that I developed from photos of an arrangement of tulips.

This painting, which is quite colourful, was painted just after my husband had a serious accident on his bicycle, and I was feeling quite down. Just needed the colour, and the peace of the underwater scene, as I recalledl from my student days working at Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef.
