This is a photo I took a couple of months back, locally, of a sudden and rather unseasonal snowfall. I love the blue cast to the hills.

30_365 : playing with film
I took a few rolls of film recently at a friend’s farm – this is one shot that I really like. It has some very clear colours and strong contrasts that appeal to me.
It’s another one I’ll be tempted to take into paint.Share this:

I’ve even been painting…
I’ve had a few days off over the Christmas break and have been painting non-stop for a couple of days now. I’ve mainly been tackling landscapes, working from a series of photos I took recently of the Patea / Waverley coastline.When I first started the art course with TLC I had a real passion for painting people but this year have concentrated on other themes. I have a real desire to get back to some faces … so yesterday out came the photos.
I have been working on painting my husband, Tony, at this stage because his face is so familiar. So far I have painted the same photo twice, both in watercolour.
Now I’m going to move on and try the same pose in a variety of different media.I really like working this way because as I get more familiar with the shapes and lines my art gets freer and more expressive somehow.

Sunsets and the moon on the brain!!
I have a real obsession with sunsets and the early evening moon at the moment – I’ve been photographing them, painting them, drawing them, dreaming them!Having done a lot of watercolour and acrylic versions, I got out the oil paints this weekend and tried a fairly abstract version. I put gloves on and smeared the paint with my fingers – not a brush to be seen 🙂
Think I’ll keep playing with it yet…
