24.01.2022 Still really in love with my Pastell watercolour palette. So pretty. Together with my extra vibrant pink that packs a punch and a bit of inking - just a perfect combo. This is one of the prints that will go into Etsy the next few days. #primamarketinginc #vintagepastel #campbelltown #macarthur #watercolour #watercolorpainting #watercolourpastels #inking #ink #flowerillustration #freestylepainting

24.01.2022 Sailing through this week like this guy. Down at the new herbie - he was chomping away on some seeds. #herbarium #botanicgarden #australianbirds #cockatoo #sulphurcrestedcockatoo #parrots #flying #birds #australiannativebirds

24.01.2022 I like to get really close to my artwork - so I can see what’s happening between the lines. It creates an artwork within the artwork. Like a story in a story. It reveals something deeper. Wooo that’s deep. #acrylicpainting #nonudewalls #walldecoration #sydneyartist #fiddleleaf #foilage #leaves #impastopainting #orange

23.01.2022 Hidden gem - just love the texture on these. Kinda obscure looking but in a cool way. And somehow ancient... #thursdayvibes #musings #australiannativeplants #banksia #plantlife #nofilter #plantsofinstagram #coastalplant #australianplants #bulli

23.01.2022 Today is R U ok day. About 10 years ago or so I was on Bondi beach spelling it out with a great bunch of people. It was fun. It was social. And also a bit cool. This year obviously is different. I haven’t been to Bondi this year - let alone gather with hundreds of people. Throughout this enormous uphill battle the year has been so far, looking after your friends, family, loved ones AND Yourself has been difficult no doubt. But this year more than ever it’s important that we d...o just that. We’re going through changes and circumstances that are unprecedented so be easy on yourself. It’s ok. You’re not supposed to do it all by yourself. Reach out via the great technology we have. Friends and family that are still in lockdown. Make it a thing. Friday night cooking or maybe do some art together. Btw I’m up for that - anyone interested DM me and I’ll make it happen Zoom, Skype, Facetime all that stuff is there to support our connections. And Remember it won’t be forever. Just for a little longer. One step in front of the other and if you need to - stop - rest - take a moment. Be kind to yourself and others. #ruokday #ruok2020 #reachout #lifeline #artandmentalhealth #suicideprevention #sydneylocal #mentalhealthmatters #sydneyartist See more

Also happy Friday You can buy this print on my Etsy site now! ...

13.01.2022 Throwback. 1991 (it looks like 97 but it’s 91 - wasn’t really in charge of my brushwork back then) Sunflowers. Oil painting. Geez I’m getting old ... a little (but in cute and fun way right...?! ... ... not in a ‘that cardigan from the mid 90s is acceptable to wear’ kind of way...) Also how lush is that frame my Mum got it in... #ihope #tbt #sunflowers #oilpainting #goldframe #sunflowerart #oilpainting #flowerlover #brightyellow #yellowflower See more

12.01.2022 Rainy Friday - some sketching and tea drinking. And sketching the tea drinking. A couple of my favourite things - cute little plant pot I picked up in a gorgeous shop in Randwick @humble_beginnings_randwick and my favourite new tea cup from @t2tea - some proteas from Camden and a monstera well because I can #t2tea #stilllife #stilllifesketch #monstera #sketching #plantlover #protea #roughsketch #watercoloursketch #sydneyartist #createdaily #australiannativeplants #teal

12.01.2022 ah Sydney you pretty little thing

11.01.2022 Some bright and colourful lorikeets on a not so bright day. Rain is good though. The birds in the garden are chirping their little heads off. Really noisy out there this morning. #parrots #lorikeets #acrylicpainting #processvideo #parrotsofinstagram #parrotlover #australianartists #australianbirds #rainbowlorikeet

10.01.2022 Working away on my Waverley 9x5 landscape art price entry. The Small wooden panel is actually a really nice size to paint on. Surface is super smooth and the paint just loves it. Very happy with my dramatic sky. Still got a little bit of work to do but it’s getting there. This St Johns Church in Camden. The church and the area around it reminds me of home for some reason. #camdennsw #waverley9x5landscapeprize #waverleyartprize #artprocess #wip #acryliclandscape #sydneyartist #landscapepainting #acrylicart

10.01.2022 One of the watercolours I did a little while ago. Just amazing how many colours these cool birds have. So bright and cheerful #macaw #bluemacaw #parrotsofinstagram #parrotlover #watercolor #sydneyartist #watercolorpainting #tropical #tropicalvibes #macawsofinstagram

09.01.2022 @dirtyjanes_bowral I love the easel. Also I love the store. I think I’ll be coming for it #easel #artistsoninstagram #artistslife #wantthis #justsayin

09.01.2022 This cat correctly vibes my current mood re the election... I’ve been glued to the TV and my phone for two days straight like it’s a season finale. Hope it’s ends better than the last episode of game of thrones. #counteveryvote #election2020 #electionshowdown #nomoreorange #democracymatters #sorelooser #usaelections2020

08.01.2022 Ah light and shadow - love how that works together. Musings on a Friday arvo it’s been a good week. Also fixed the teacup #teacupart #shadowwork #acrylicpainting #sydneylocal #sydneyartist #artistofinstagram #australianartists #stilllifepainting #stilllife

07.01.2022 One of my bigger projects this year was giving birth to this octopus. I've been fascinated with them for ages - just love their intelligence and agility. Just amazing creatures. I've use a variety of painting methods - I've painted with brushes and also with my hands. Paired with some nice beats - I hope you'll enjoy this little process video of my favourite painting for mine. #octopus #oceanlove #oceancreatures #acrylicpainting #sydneyartist

06.01.2022 Today was a good day! I woke up to great news and we got out to do an actual in person run!! Great day! I’m happy. #decencywins #hugs #wearyourmask #uselection2020 #digitalart #digitalillustration #quicksketch #pastellove #adobefresco #digitalartist #adobefrescoillustration

06.01.2022 Saw this gorgeous plant on our little Father’s Day road trip to Scarborough! So beautiful and bright. Brilliant sunny day with the fam. Doesn’t get much better than that. #sunshine #orange #pincushionprotea #protea

05.01.2022 Tweet. Tweet. Working on a fun commission for a friend. So many colours in these guys. Great to use a range in my palette. This is a work in progress. So far so good. What do you think? #lorikeet #australianbird #parrotsofinstagram #parrotlover #rainbowlorikeet #rainbowlorikeets #acrylicpainting #sydneyartist #birdsofinstagram #colourful

05.01.2022 Almost porcelain-like how our tree in the front yard stretches its twigs into the blue sky. So ready for this thing call spring. #springtime #springtimevibes #porcelain #delftblue #trees #dreamlikestate

04.01.2022 Do you imagine stories when you see a painting? I sometimes make them up as I draw them. To set the scene - to give it a back story. Here is a old church cemetery on top of a hillside. I see a woman with a red head scarf - (one of those from the 1970s - my Mum used to wear them all the time). She’s scurrying along as the fog sets over the old headstones and the rusting wrought iron fences. A strange and eerie light falls over the trees and the top of the bell tower. She’s looking over her shoulder and quickens her step..... oooooohhh spooky. #painting #paintingwithastory #storytelling #artistsoninstagram #acryliclandscape #landscapeart #landscapepainting #artcloseup #closeup #createdaily

04.01.2022 Monday morning is always a work in progress for me. So is this little painting. Trying my hand at some still life scenes. This is not quite finished yet. But I’m liking my progression so far. The tea cup is still a bit winky wonky. But that’s ok. This is gonna be a good week peeps - I can feel it #stilllifepainting #stilllife #stilllifeart #acrylicpainting #acrylic #protea #banksia #tea #teacup #australianartists #australiannativeplants #naiveart

04.01.2022 It arrived. A present to myself from a bit of commission money. For 6 months (and 30 or so years) of hard work and dedication to my craft. I’ve never owned a decent easel. Like ever. He’s a really big boi - and I need a kiddy step to reach and perhaps a bigger room to fully extend. But you know what they say.

03.01.2022 Happy Halloween To be super scary all I would have to write would be #2020 But I just went with one of my #inktober2020 sketches instead. This one is #rip #instaart #shadingdrawing #inkdrawing #ink #skull #staedler #zombie #grimreaper #grim

02.01.2022 Ah the purple jacarandas everywhere really got me in the mood to watercolour in my garden. And then the mossies came and ate me. The end. #jacaranda #jacarandaseason #jacarandatree #watercolour #purple #purpletree #pleinair #pleinairpainting

02.01.2022 Have a cockatoo on my shoulder... think this one is a less is more approach... won’t do too much more on him. A bit of a rockatoo I reckon. Toot toot. #cockatoo #rockatoo #eyesarethewindowtothesoul #idogoodeye #acrylicpainting #sulphurcrestedcockatoo #liquitex #liquitexyellow #birdsofinstagram #cockatoosofinstagram #selfie #sydneylocal #sydneyartist #campbelltown #parrotsofinstagram #parrots #sydneygallery #artgallery #artgallerynsw

01.01.2022 Painting away on one of my favourite subjects - plants. The natural world is just so forgiving when it comes to painting. This is painted on 61x61cm stretch canvas and you can buy this via #bluethumbart #sydneyartist #monsteradeliciosa #popartcolor #foilage #indoorplants #mintcolour #sagecolour #acrylicpainting #limitedcolorpalette #nonudewalls

01.01.2022 My favourite place to go at the moment is the botanic garden in Mt Annan. Think I’ve done about 40km of walking in the last week. It’s a great place. Anyway more videos and such shortly. Just in the process of editing another couple of vids. But a girl needs a break every now and then, too. Hope your week has been as productive and positive as mine. Next week springtime starts and hopefully the spell of winter is broken. And better times are coming our way. In the meantime stay classy folks. #reflections #spinghassprung #springtime #selfie #mtannan #australianbotanicgarden

01.01.2022 Ah Friday my friend. Here you are. Think this would be great for fabric - might try to warp that into a surface pattern - thinking thinking Also waiting for more watercolours pans I ordered from the US. Excited. #watercoloursketch #flowerlovers #flowersketch #fabric #fridayvibes #surfacepattern #fabricpattern #happyfriyay
