"Painted Pebbles" Oil 600x750 Walking along a beach in Tasmania I noticed a large patch of sky blue pebbles. It looks like that someone may have painted the underside of their boat and spilled the cobalt blue paint. Not my usual type of painting but a lot of fun.
I have been painting for many years and like other Artists there is this constant challenge to make the next painting the best ever. I find that the search for subject matter is almost as enjoyable as doing the painting itself. Most of my paintings are of the South Australian countryside that are painted with the palate knife or a combination of knife and brush.
