Beneath the Taradale Viaduct
It was a hot summer's day and I could have done with some air conditioning via duct, but instead I had to settle for shade and a breeze via wind.

Shop on Corner of Piper and Powlett Streets, Kyneton
My grandparents ran this shop as a milk bar until the late 1970s, so what better place for me to set up shop with my easel.

Telephone Poles on Gooch's Lane, Pastoria
With such a good view of telephone poles, I was clearly in pole position.

Bridge at Ross, Tasmania
This was the only painting I managed during a week-long holiday in Tasmania, and it was quite a lot of bridge to try to fit into a limited canvas (I was travelling light with only my small pochade box). It was, perhaps, a bridge too far.

Whisky in Glencairn Whisky Glass
I'd planned to have an alcohol-free night and could have easily resisted the urge to drink; however, it was the temptation to paint a wee dram that I succumbed to, and well, once the genie was out of the bottle...

Albert Park Yacht Club
Despite the beautifully sunny day, the wind (and wind-chill-factor) made painting especially difficult, which somewhat knocked the wind out of my sails.

Hydrangea Flower in Copper Vase
I carefully positioned this flower in a vase, and as such became a hydrangea arranger.

House Backs from Morrah Street, Parkville
This isn't my favourite painting of late, so much so that I think it's a bit of a beast: a beast of at least three backs.

Manna Gum, Rosebery Hill, Pipers Creek
This isn't perhaps my most convincing attempt at a Manna Gum--perhaps I ought to be taught some mannas.

Gardener's Cottage at Flagstaff Hill, Melbourne
According to Wikipedia, the first flagstaff on Flagstaff Hill was erected in 1840 and was used to signal ships in the Port of Melbourne. The article goes on to say that by the 1860s, signalling by flags was superseded by telegraph; I suppose flagging demand for the service eventually led to staff cuts.

Onion with Glass Vase
This glass vase is to the right of an unpeeled onion, but it does not necessarily have a right of appeal.

Rear of House on Corner of Royal Parade and Degraves Street, Parkville
Whilst painting this building it was necessary to make several adjustments to the roof line--so many in fact that I've dubbed it house of correction

Cloud Study: Approaching Storm
I wouldn't go so far as to say that the sky's the limit, but this painting is certainly limited to the sky.
