Lovely morning light on a random street in Mudgee. Once a gold rush town, now famous for the vineyards in the region, this little jewel in the central west NSW has so much more to offer. Old heritage buildings line up along the main roads bring us back in time. It’s magic moments when the rising sun lit up the facades of these beautiful buildings.
A beautiful summer day by the billabong. Don’t you miss those carefree times?
Another perfect day for plein air and sand between the toes at Balmoral beach. Balmoral becomes a favourite cause Mum loves to take a stroll on the promenade while I paint 😎.
The funniest bird encounter in Parque Das Aves near Iguazu falls. It was like a real life Rio movie- Two Hyacinth Macaw was playing with a knife and discovered by the park employee. They were so mad that their escape plan was foiled and went into bickering. Have to paint them 😂😂😂
One year after the bushfire, we visited the Govetts Leap again. Nature’s speed of recovery is amazing! There are still swathes of burned bush here and there, but the whole area is greener than ever. And the bridal veil fall is as beautiful as its name.
This painting won the “Very highly commended” award in the Drummoyne art society exhibition 2023.
During a walk in the Sydney botanic garden, I came across a gang of cockatoos having a great time along the beautiful garden bed with paper daisies in full blossom. It was so funny to see these two birds having a feast right beside the sign of “Please keep off the garden bed”. I just love their cheekiness and had so much fun painting them. I hope the painting brings a smile on your face as well.
Went for a morning jog and saw these two cockatoos having a feast on a blossoming cherry tree. This is probably the best image for a Sydney spring. I just stood there enjoying watching them. A young girl walked out to put up her laundry. By the time she finished and walked back, I was still there watching. She was pretty amused but I found her fitting perfectly for the painting in my mind and asked to take a photo of her. So she walked into my painting the next day 😂

Sydney has so many beautiful beaches. Curl curl beach in the northern beaches is one of our favourite. Love to watch waves in a sunny windy day.
Went through the botanic garden in the late afternoon and these flannel flowers caught my attention. The last bit of sunshine lit up the petals, just gorgeous! Have to paint them 😊
Saw this girl during a lunch break. Love the simple white dress and her long legs. Such a beauty!
This painting won 54th Drummoyne Art Society Annual Members Art Exhibition – Very Highly Commended prize in Acrylic Medium section
I always love this beautiful terrace at the corner of a North Sydney street. Every spring the wisteria blossoms cover the brick wall and makes the house even more charming. Finally got the chance to paint it at its best. What beats painting outside in a sunny day with the fragrance of the wisteria. A grandpa walked by with a cute little girl and he later told me My granddaughter wanted to see “that girl and her painting again!” Then the lovely owner of the house came out with her dog and invited me into the house. The fun of plein air painting 😊
If you are a jacaranda fan, you most probably know McDougall Street. I finally got the chance to paint en plein air a few times when the jacaranda were in full blossom. One day I saw this young mother rode by on a bike with two little kids in the back seat. I thought she came especially to this street to show the kids the beautiful blossoms. Then the second day I saw her again and I realized she probably is a local and this is her usual route sending her kids to school. I was quick enough to snap a few photos of the young family and they become my most favourite subject of the year :)
I always love this lavender I planted for a few years but this year it really shows its potential and burst into a sea of delicate pink, mauve, purple and bees love them. Don’t need to go anywhere to search for inspiration. It’s right in my garden! 😍
