Jolie Fleur

There it is,"Jolie Fleur". I am so glad this painting is finally completed. I must admit, there were a few challenges along the way but, I am now very happy with the results. I felt contented and glad that I did not give up on it......actually, I love it.

I did this painting from a photograph that I saw on the web. Therefore I would like to sincerely thank "Monceau on Flickr", for giving me the permission to use her beautiful picture.

What's up?

I have been painting  "BUT" it has been a very slow process. The weather here has been very hot. Only last week, we had 46° Celsius (114.80° F). I know, no excuses...but really, this hot weather is not helping! Anyway, I am doing a painting right now and it should have been finished but somehow it is only progressing very slowly. So I am going with the flow and will post the finished painting in the next few days. Thank you for being patient. If you are wondering what it will be? ....It will be "une jolie fleur"!

Jacqueline's Iris

Here we go. This is my latest oil painting and I like the way it turned out. I usually like to paint from my own references but this time I got some help. This painting was "completed under the direction of Jacqueline Gnott's dvd". What a privilege to be guided by such a wonderful artist.

Inner Glow

 

What is it you do that lights you up inside?.....I can definitely say "painting" does it for me. I painted this glowing flower from a picture this time. The picture was taken by Thom Brommerich brilliant photographer. I have enjoyed painting this gorgeous flower from start to finish. I felt a warm feeling deep inside me when the painting was finally finished. Hope this painting lights you up in some wonderful ways. Thank you for visiting my blog.

Back in OZ

I am back home in Adelaide Australia. Great to see that spring has sprung. I feel like painting some flowers. Perhaps some close up views. Anyway, I do have several ideas. All I need to do now is to go to my studio, stretch a few canvases and.....paint!

On Vacation

I'm on holiday at present. I have been to Israel and Jordan. I'm in France right now and am going to Italy in the next few days. I will be back to Australia in about 2 weeks. After  this long break, I'm looking forward to painting again. Cheers! CD.

Finding the way



 

We all have at times difficulties in life. So what is there to do? Finding the way!.....More often than not, just listen to your heart. This kangaroo is about to find his way. On a lighter note, is it just me, or is this kangaroo trying to stick his tongue out..... at life? You tell me!
