I've been making a regular exercise of getting out and doing quick small pastel studies. Hopefully I can keep this going. The biggest challenge is often finding a spot to paint. There's a lot to think about - how's the light, the shadows, am I being too conspicuous, is there a shady spot to sit, etc. But it's also kind of fun driving around looking for inspiration. If you enjoyed looking at these, I'll be posting more regularly over at my facebook page,
here.
Two contrasting styles; the top painting is a large oil on canvas (24 X 18") painted recently and the lower piece is a digital double spread for 'Earth Has a Fever' by the Magic Wagon imprint of Abdo Books illustrating the importance of synchronicity in the timing of spring and the impacts of climate change.

Another imaginary landscape in gouache.
A while back I had the idea to do a series of these imaginary landscapes. I hope I can find the time to do more of these soon. I can't decide which I like doing more, characters or environments.
Inspired by the city I live in, Brisbane. Colonies of flying foxes at dusk, and seemingly rickety Queenslanders on stilts. Growing up here these were pretty typical sights, though don't try and find where this is. This one's made up. More process pictures can be viewed on my Facebook page.

Small (roughly 3 x 4 inch) experiments with colour and composition.
Inspired by some recents visits to a place called Marburg. My personal view of observation is that sometimes it's best used through the filter of memory. I think we somehow distill what was important to us in the subject when we recall it from past observation. When the subject is in front of us the details can be overwhelming.
It's refreshing to be using lots of colour, and these mini compositions really are a joy to play around with.
These quick mini-studies were a lot of fun to paint. These two were my favourites. They are interpretations from memory of familiar places around my city. I was exploring colour, space (or depth), and composition. Size is about 5x6 inches. Next, the plan is to make a more polished piece from one of these.
oh dear.. good thing I didn't make any promises! Between a bad cold and other commitments I missed getting my Illustration Friday entry finished on time (see previous post). I didn't want to rush it as I thought the painting had some potential, so in the meantime here's a quick plein air I did before breakfast.
Brisbane river is still muddy from the flood.
An outdoor painting that I redid back in the studio. Studying light, colour and composition.
This one was painted on location with a few touch ups back in the studio.
More studio watercolour painting based on plein air studies.
Painted back in the studio for practice with watercolour, this piece is based on some paintings I did on location at the beach.
Matthew Albanese’s photos of dramatic landscapes are gorgeous, but they are not what they first seem to be. These are meticulously hand-made models. For example, the caption on this striking tornado photo reveals: “Tornado made of steel wool, cotton, ground parsley and moss.” This seems to me like matte painting taken to a new and strange (and pretty awesome) 3-dimensional space.

It looks so lively and real, if i haven't read it's description, I would really thought that it was taken during the tornado's disaster.
HOLY SHIZ i saw this on the aol frontpage today. Impressive to say the least. It's nice to see a conceptual sculptor get some recognition.
