I have been working on paintings for my November Exhibition at McGraths Art Gallery in North Sydney.

The Exhibition will be called "From The Water" and will feature paintings based on Sydney Harbour, the ocean, wetlands and Venetian reflections

Watercolor and Mixed Media 

COOLUM WORKSHOP

Coolum was a 5 day, live in workshop organized by Sue Gardiner for the Queensland Watercolour Society.
The venue is high up on a hill looking over the sea and surrounded by bush land - a great place to paint. 

  Coolum Headland

18 students attended the workshop.  We had a wonderful time experimenting with Gesso, Gouache, Ink Pastel  watercolour and collage. I was amazed at how hard everyone worked - I never saw the workroom empty, There were people painting til after 10 o'clock at night and others starting at 6 in the morning. 

It was a great group of people and everyone had a fantastic time thanks to Sue's hard work.

Plenty of light and space at Coolum
