QUIET MORNING, COOLUM
Walking at Coolum Main beach regularly, still gives a different experience every day. Fresh new colours, different weather and new people walking the sand. But it's always fresh, beautiful and uplifting. I aimed to capture this uplifting feeling of an invigorating walk along the shore at a favourite place.

LOW TIDE WALK
Unframed. On an unexpected wet day in summer when I couldnt do the outdoor jobs I had planned, instead I spent the day in my studio, based on a coolum photo but remembering refreshing walks while the tide was low. Cool feet, splashing tiny spray on my legs, deep in contemplaltive thought as I passed other walkers. The sun warmed our skin and our souls as the morning greeted us and gave us energy and happy vibes for the day ahead.

WARM COOL VIBES, COOLUM
Coastlines are places of ever changing mood and colours. Storms can roll in from nowhere and a breeze can cool the hottest of days. A place to feel invigorated and a place to laze dreamily on a towel, tuning out all others. In this painting I wanted to capture the cool and warm embrace of Coolum Beach. I wanted it to be recognisable as Coolum main beach but also be any beach anywhere that invigorates you with cool but also wraps you in warm. Please contact me directly if you live on the Sunshine Coast as I am happy to deliver in person.

STONEY BEACH PATH
This painting was painted using a reference photo taken in New Zealand a few years ago. It was muggy in the studio as i worked, and I was trying to convey how it felt on this cool, invigorating walk on uneven stones and the chilly, clear, fresh air. I was able to escape a little into the cool refreshing moment as I painted.

Impressions can be fleeting and this painting captures the moment bright blue highlights danced along the water amongst the rocks as the ocean reflected the gray of approaching storm.

QUIETLY SITTING
After a wonderfully warm, fun, perfect summers day at the beach I was packing up to go home, with arms full of stuff and I noticed this man quietly sitting, still enjoying the last rays of the sun and in no rush to leave, making the most of the last moments of a happy Sunday at the beach. I put everything down, took a photo and dashed to the car! Then enjoyed that quiet sitting moment again as I painted this little study.

REFLECTING ON A RIVER WALK
Framed. This painting was started on site at a river walk near where I used to live. The river always looks different, the colours are earthy and vegetation is natural so you feel away from it all but you are just round the corner from life. Do you have a local spot just like that? (Mountain Creek River on the Sunshine Coast)

MISTY GARDEN GEMS
The garden is a constant source of joy and inspiration. This process of painting consists of many layers, starting with bright colours and shapes creating a canvas of happy colour palette that blends together. The next process is negative space painting to allow the shapes to grow, just like in the garden. For this painting I stopped a layer or two before I usually do, as I love the misty glow affect.

BOUNCING INTO HAPPY
Painted during covid when things were starting to look better but we really didnt know what normal would look like. We were all taking each day as it came. Some were bouncing so much harder than others, and for some the lows were incredibly low. But I felt hopeful and wanted to convey that.

DREAMING OUT THERE
Framed. A slightly whimsical expression of my mood when sitting out on the balcony, looking at the trees and bush and the gorgeous kookaburras come to perch on our rail to spend some quiet time with us. Just looking and wondering and enjoying the minutes as they tick by. Often a time when dreams are conjured and occasionally plans are made.

THE ROAD TO ANYWHERE
Driving to somewhere new you take in the colours, shapes and patterns more keenly. New experiences are just round the corner. And sometimes you get that feeling just driving home on a Friday afternoon. This painting endeavours to capture the distant hills and possibilities of new places to explore, while being embraced by the warm, freshness of nature around you.

HIGH LIGHTS
Painted from a reference photo on my file. A photo that brings back memories of the early morning sun and crisp cool air through the trees from a high vantage point. And the feeling of calm, happiness knowing that a wonderful holiday is about to begin.

SPRING CHASES WINTER AWAY
Spring is a time of warming rays, new growth, fresh starts and positive vibes. But it often also means busier days and more activity. In this painting I wanted to capture all those positive, warm feelings but give a calm, restful attitude. Yes life gets busy, but we can take a moment every day to enjoy and absorb the colours of nature.
Inspired by the hills of the hinterland near my studio.

CLOUDS ABOVE BLUE HILLS
Autumn has arrived here ... the hills are still green from summer rain, the sky is blue and clear because the air is crisp and a little cooler. Such amazing time of year when everything is bright and fresh looking. The days are still warm but cool evenings and mornings refresh us. This little painting was painted up on the lookout in Dulong and I was pleased to have captured everything I was thinking and seeing.

HAPPINESS IS TREES
Framed. I have been thinking of trees a lot lately, as several I see on my morning walks in rural Sunshine Coast are dripping tears from stress. Too hot possibly! I started writing a poem and as I wrote the urge to paint was strong so I squeezed out my acrylics and worked on this for 4 hours. Each day after that I worked a little more and although my poem is sad and a little desperate I wanted the painting to be a happy reminder of how special and wonderful trees are, and how important they are to our happiness and health.

WATER COLOURS:
ROCK POOLS, SHELLY BEACH
Another favourite plein air painting spot where we can set up our easel and capture the magical light and sky reflections. The scene is constantly changing as the tide comes in and the clouds roll by, but always a beautiful place to walk over the rocks and look round to the next bay.

GREEN HEADLAND
Spoilt for choice on Sunshine Coast beaches, where headlands, surfing waves and warm sandy bays appear on every coastal bend. Moffat Beach is a special place in many a local's heart for so many reasons. But on this day, with my paints laid out and easel steady in the sand, I focused on the warm green grass of the familiar headland that watches over the bay and all those enjoying the magic.

Another plein air painting outing at Cotton Tree. Always so full of activity, action and gently bays to dive into for a cool dip. This day I was watching the colourful wind surfers floating and skipping through the air above the sparkling water.
