Many Places, Many Reasons to Paint
Balmoral Beach (Top) – painted from a photograph I took, I love how the bike adds a focal point in the foreground. The first 4 in the gallery are from locations near where I live. The rest are listed below.
Dublin canal at night: This was a bespoke commission I did for my good friend, which she loved and now has on her wall!
Rarotonga, The Cook Islands: A good friend wanted a painting of her father’s resting place in the Cook Islands.
Morning Swimmers: I was approached by a gentleman who had seen me sketching outdoors, and he asked me to do a painting of his swimming group, who meet each week at Balmoral beach for a morning swim before work.
Wynyard, Sydney: This was our view out of the Amora Hotel, where my husband and I spent two weeks in quaranteen last year after we were unexpectedly called back to the UK for family reasons.
Shelly Beach – one of my earlier paintings exploring a different style of painting. I love this walk to Shelly beach, it feels quite Mediterranean in my opinion!
Zadar, Croatia sunset: I painted this from a photo I took many years ago whilst travelling across Europe with my sister. I went mad with the colours here to evoke the atmosphere of this stunning place.
View of Melbourne Skyline: I was asked to paint the view out of a lady’s window who lives in Melbourne – I wish I had this view!
