Splitpoint Lighthouse, Aireys Inlet

 

A little memento to take away from the recent Victorian Artists' Society paintout: I wanted to bring home the beacon.

Towards Skenes Creek from Marriner's Lookout, Apollo Bay

 

For as long as I remain at a high vantage point, I'm constantly on the lookout.

Barham Paradise Scenic Reserve, Apollo Bay

 

To paint this scene, I had to lower the Barham somewhat.

P.S. It would have been better to have raised the bar as this will be one of my entries in this year's VAS 9 x 5 Exhibition.

Biddles Beach, Petticoat Creek

 

This is a quick sketch from the first day of the most recent Victorian Artists' Society paint-out weekend.  After a long drive, I was perhaps a wee bit distracted -- I biddled whilst foam churned.

Corella Pears with Small Stoneware Bottle

 

To prepare this scene it was necessary to corral a pair and a half of pears.  To paint it, I had to concentrate so as not to lose my bottle.

Persimmon with Flour Sifter

 

I started this painting over a week ago and ran out of time to finish.  As such, I had to replace the persimmon because the original one had ripened to the point that it was persimmona non grata.  The stand-in was a make-sift solution.

Quinces with Stoneware Jar and Persimmon

 

Quincy Stones was a persimmon of significance in the music industry

P.S. This started life as a quick demo for one of my recent workshops; I found it yesterday and quite liked it, so recreated the scene in order to complete it.
