I definitely get homesick at Christmas, hence all these Aussie scenes, forgive me if it's overkill.This was from a photo I took two years ago while I was there, no idea where it was, but let's say it's a typical Aussie scene and of course having reflections and the lovely receding back line, I could not resist painting it. You know me and water.
I chose a deep rich purple suede mat board for this one, as I was dealing with so many shades of rich greens and I wanted the painting to 'pop'.
I will often choose the complimentary color of the overall local colors I am to use.

Absolutely gorgeous, Rae. You are so good. What we should do is go on a painting trip to Australia, and you can be the guide...

I tried to reply on you blog and my computer crashed. This is one of my favorites. Just love it. Those tiny pops of orange in the water are spectacular.
Love,
