The Old Goulburn Bridge
This painting is another from my archives. This time an oil on canvas!
The Goulburn River virtually circles our town. It is a very beautiful river, with plenty of fish and river crays. My husband was a keen fisherman and loved fishing this river.
The bridge is very old (mid to late 1800's)and needs much expensive renovation....it is intended to keep it as part of the very popular walking track. Our local Art Society recently held an exhibition featuring paintings of this old bridge. We donated the proceeds towards it's renovation.
It seems as though our efforts( and the efforts of many others in the community) was successful, and now, with extra money from the Shire and the government, this beautiful old structure will survive
SOLD
Milby Park 1 and 2
I have been sorting through the archives of my older paintings ...all sold long ago.
It is so good to have the photographs of these works, the memories of the times in the great out doors, painting 'en plein air', under difficult conditions of heat and wind ...sometimes a wandering snake...or two!! Lots of great company with friends with the same love of painting.

Girl Reading
I have been "playing" with watercolour on yupo...Relaxing , experimenting and enjoying is probably a more accurate description.
My reference is a photograph I took at a meeting...not at all a likeness of the woman nor the room...simply a starting point.
Yupo is fun to use... watercolour doesn't sink in to the "plastic" surface and "mistakes' are easily removed.
For this image, I used a foam roller,to blend colours, a window squee-gee for lines and to move some paint about, a waterspray and crumpled tissues for textures.

Dappled Light
Despite drought conditions in our part of Australia this hardy little geranium was doing very well. I was attracted to the interesting patterns made by the morning light falling on the plant.I thought it could make an interesting watercolour.
