25.01.2022 This was part of a giraffe series, I really love painting expressions and personalities; this one is shy & bashful.

25.01.2022 After painting a whole lot of little birds, I decided to take the plunge & create a big bird! This was done in ink & acrylic on a textured background. #birds #art #nature #design #color #art #style #love

24.01.2022 I have found myself consumed by various art techniques and subjects over the years... this was part of the bird phase!

22.01.2022 I can't decide on a name for this iso-escape landscape! All suggestions welcome. Any ideas?

21.01.2022 Focus on Faces Here is my portrait of the lovely @gracefleming - photographer, eco-warrior, animal lover, vegetarian, nutritionist and personal trainer. She was happy for me to use her facial features to explore the tension... between the facial expression we observe and the thoughts that are hidden in the background. I love reading people! It's a challenge to capture the essence of a person, rather than making it perfect. If the facial features are skewed too much, it can look like a completely different person. When you're an author with a paintbrush, you can create whatever story you like, but you're never in control of how it is interpreted......

21.01.2022 This event is happening in three days

20.01.2022 Some things never get old things like painting circles, striped lines and flowers in a vase. Here's a bouquet I made just for you.

20.01.2022 A lot of pineapple images have been popping onto my canvases lately I love their shapes but apparently they are also a symbol of hospitality and warmth, who knew?!

19.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS I love most animals; I'm obsessed with their expressive eyes, personalities, you can't beat their trusting, unconditional love and want to protect their fragility & vulnerability. This was a bit of fun for teaching kids about collage..... a form of mixed media art created by sticking different materials such as scraps of ribbon, papers & fabric on to a background............and painting over the top.

19.01.2022 Looking for an iso-escape? My paintbrush is creating safe places to visit!

19.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS Meet the much loved but naughty Ziggy! His favourite place to run amok is the beach. He was painted on top of a mixed media background.

18.01.2022 I really believe some good things are going to come out of our lock-down lunacy experience this year, I just don't know what they are...... yet.

16.01.2022 These birds don't look happy. It all depends on how you paint the eye - rounder & larger eyes are cuter than elongated small eyes.

15.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS This is one of my favourite paintings because of it's name.......Sozzled! What are some of the best painting names you've seen?

14.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS If leopards can't change their spots then giraffes can! Painting opens up a world of possibility when you're the author of the paintbrush.

13.01.2022 Since Covid I've had a hankering to paint landscapes, or as I've been calling them iso-escapes! If you can't go anywhere, you can create a place to go with your paintbrush!

13.01.2022 Normally I'm on the other side of the camera because I'm shy .... but I thought I'd say hi!

13.01.2022 Female faces It's fun to paint strong females like Lagertha in Vikings and Indian women; they're tough and yet still feminine. I enjoy showing tension between internal battle scars (our backstory) and our exterior appearance. This was painted with a palette knife. ... When you're an author with a paintbrush, you can create whatever story you like, and you're never in control of how the viewer will interpret it......

13.01.2022 Covid has inspired me to paint iso-escape landscapes! I'm creating places to travel to with my paintbrush!

12.01.2022 How clever is this little munchkin? Her school holiday painting has been printed on a mouse pad & a glass-cleaning-cloth. She loved seeing her art printed on 'merch.'

12.01.2022 A detail from a favourite painting from a few years ago. #picoftheday #delicious #love #alihillart #oldiebutagoodie

10.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS I don't paint too many cats, but they're equally as adorable as dogs. We had a ginger cat growing up, called .....wait for it........Ginger! What are/were some of your pet's names?... This was a watercolour painting. #cats #catsofinstagram #instacat #catstagram

09.01.2022 I love Dr Seuss; his messages are as relevant today as they were when he wrote them in the 1930's. Did you know his first book was rejected 27 times by various publishers before it was finally published. Today's interpretation of this saying could be 'you do you' or 'be yourself, everyone else is taken.' Do you have a favourite Dr Seuss saying? ... Photo courtesy of @Aloha Kirstie

08.01.2022 Kindness is contagious & really does make a difference to someone's day. Lots of lovely, kind & unexpected things have happened here during covid lockdown no 2, like meals dropped off, paintings bought, flowers, wine & chocolate received and coffees delivered. Have you experienced anything unexpected and kind recently? ... Pic courtesy of Pinterest #kindnessmatters #payitforward

08.01.2022 Meet Dexter! Dexter was a commissioned Xmas present for his mum. He loves his beach lifestyle at Mount Martha but misses his mum when she has to go to her job to keep him in the style to which he is accustomed. ... This was painted on a mixed media background.

07.01.2022 Faces I like painting women that have more to them than their appearance! This one looks fierce. When you're an author with a paintbrush, you can create whatever expression/emotion you like but you're never in control of how the viewer will perceive it......

07.01.2022 My obsession with painting flowers started 17 years ago because I found them empowering. I remember the exact moment well because it was 2003 and I had breast cancer. My soul-less hospital room was full of vibrant-looking and sweet-smelling flowers which had the opposite energy to the grim news that I had a high grade, 9.5cm tumour and a 35% chance of survival. ... Plus I'd just had my right breast hacked off as it had morphed itself into a 'weapon of mass destruction.' All that was left was a flat chest and a neat line of stiches. Those flowers helped me to realise that nothing in life is ever under control so it's easier to become a 'flow-er' & go with life's flow. To this day, I still love painting any kind of flower, in any style.

07.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS Animals share many human traits, eg. elephants love a bit of mischievous fun, good food, a bath, pedicures, leisurely strolls and hanging out with their friends. What's not to love?! Did you grow up with animal sayings like 'don't let the cat out of the bag' or the 'elephant in the room?'

05.01.2022 It's not surprising this is the inspo image during lockdown .........please type YES if you've been alternating between WINE & WHINE too!

04.01.2022 FOCUS ON ANIMALS Meet Harry, Dexter & Chester! Their mum wanted her cheeky trio painted on the beach to reflect where they live and what they love.

04.01.2022 Focus on Faces Here is my portrait of the lovely @brodieharper for a fundraising exhibition at the incredible @mbmornington and I was delighted she bought it! Here I was playing again with texture and the balance of foreground face and background patterns. ... It's a challenge to capture the essence of a person, rather than making it perfect. If the facial features are skewed too much, it can look like a completely different person. When you're an author with a paintbrush, you can create whatever story you like, and you're never in control of how the viewer will interpret it......

03.01.2022 Faces Here I was playing around with ink sticks. I don't know why the faces I paint often look pensive........ This style was from an online course; I enjoy learning new techniques and then incorporate them into the way I paint. I raffled it as an art prize. What do you do with your practice pieces? When you're an author with a paintbrush, you can create whatever expression/emotion you like, and you're never in control of how the viewer will interpret it......

03.01.2022 Someone's been going a little stir-crazy in the studio this week..........

01.01.2022 Focus on faces this week This was me mucking around with a textured background. She doesn't look very happy but I guess if you've got a sharp beak heading for your neck, you might not be too thrilled! Or maybe she's unhappy because she's lost a couple of fingers! ... When you're an author with a paintbrush, you can create whatever story you like, and you're never in control of how the viewer will interpret it......

01.01.2022 There can only be one lucky winner! I wonder who is going to get their painting printed on a mouse pad! The winner will be drawn by a parent the last day of the school holiday painting program, on Fri 10 July. ... Good luck kids! . . .
