Here's a complementary colour experiment in orange and blue 🧡💙 after Vermeer. Of course, there is no way to get a full spectrum with such limitations. Nevertheless, I find it fascinating to attempt to recreate the relationship of colours and values in this way. Happy Monday!

A small watercolour to refocus this weekend. It's early autumn here, and things are starting to cool down. This little study of trees in Weston Park, Canberra. I was taken by the deciduous trees changing colour in front of a stand of eucalypts. #watercolour #landscape #art

A short watercolour sky study. Just a little something to brighten the day. #watercolour #landscape #art

Watching in horror at the rise of a fascist dictatorship in the US, undermining democracy within, threatening its allies abroad and holding the world hostage. In the mean time, Australia sends superfunds to the US on an appeasement mission. Utterly disgusted #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

First post on this very new to me platform. This is mostly what you’ll see here: paintings and drawings. And colour. Because we all need it.

My latest watercolour landscape. Richmond hills, cloudy day. #watercolour #watercolor #landscapepainting #rosemarybrushes #danielsmithwatercolors #tasmania #richmondtasmania #watercolourlandscape #watercolorlandscape #archespaper #watercolourartist

A recent study for a larger watercolour landscape. I was taken by the cloud reflections and the colouring of the rock on the edge of a tranquil lake.

A recent landscape in watercolour. I was taken by the light on the receding hills and the peaceful domestic scene of the clothes drying on a line.

Enjoyed the opportunity over the holidays to do some paintings. This one is a view south over Friendly Beaches on Tasmania's east coast. #watercolour #watercolor #landscapepainting #rosemarybrushes #danielsmithwatercolors #discovertasmania #archespaper #watercolourlandscape #watercolourartist

This is a little watercolour landscape I've been working on based on a view from Port Arthur, Tasmania. A beautiful spot that belies a disturbing past.

A recent watercolour landscape from a recent trip to New Zealand. Eastern Beach, NZ #watercolour #watercolor #landscapepainting #art
