Painting holiday

We have just returned form a caravan trip down the South Coast, lots of beautiful country to paint.
There were some very wild seas, massive waves crashing on the rocks, I managed to paint a few of these seascapes, wanting to capture the anger & power of the scene.

"Dusk in the outback" oil on canvas

T
Feel the heat, the sun has set, but the heat of the day still leaves a glow to the sky, as the crows fly in to settle for the night

"Outback in bloom" - oil on canvas

After the rain the outback comes alive with wildflowers

"Evening glow" - oil on canvas

The sun has set & the sky & rocks glow before the storm

"Coolaburragundy Creek" oil on canvas

Such a peaceful spot looking out towards the Coolah Tops National Park

"Days End" pastel

The sun sets on another hot day in north western NSW, the shadows are long & the last suns rays just touch the tops of the grass. I love this time of day the colours are vivid & the air is clear & everything seems to glow.

While I am sketching my husband has the BBQ going just to the right of my easel, what a great end to another beautiful day in the outback.
This pastel was done from a quick watercolour sketch.

"swans" (oil on canvas)

Very early in the morning & the sun is just about to show it's face over the horizon.
