What’s better than this? Plein air on a sunny Sunday morning, surrounded by the fragrance of wisteria, birds jumping in the tree, pink petals falling on my head 😍 A young girl came out to put out her laundry on the clothesline and she walked into my painting :)
What a gorgeous spring day for plein air and some coastal walk! The slope is covered with wildflowers, the Sydney harbour is at its most beautiful. I can’t help but feel so lucky to live in this beautiful city 😍😍😍
I went for a walk after painting plein air at Sirius cove and these three happy dogs grabbed my attention . Love watching them fighting for the same stick like there is no other better stick in the whole world 😂. It turned out the black puppy is only six month old and she just had her first swim under the guidance of the other two. Reminds me of the gold Labrador my husband used to have, she used to teach the neighbors’ dog to swim. How sweet 😍
I can’t believe that i’ve only been to the great ocean road once and briefly all these years. It is certainly one of the most beautiful pieces of coast in the south. Looking forward to visiting it again and spending more quality time there.
Perfect day plein air at Gerringong, one of the most beautiful coastal villages near Sydney. I was so lucky to stay here for a project a few years ago when it was quiet and peaceful . Who would imagine it now becomes an internet sensation because it looks like a scene from a Japanese cartoon 😂. But with a view like this, who can resist?
What’s better than watching beautiful sunset with your loved one? 😍
Beautiful summer days in Hamburg. I like to take a stroll along the Alster and watch all the activities on the lake. Hamburg is a beautiful city with many canals and waterways. It has more bridges than Venice! There are many sailing clubs around the lake and nearly all school kids learn to sail. I found so many painting inspirations but the blooming water lilies caught my eyes. It was 35 degrees, a rare scorching day for Hamburg, but very nice to paint plein air in the shade as there was constant refreshing breeze. Love the reflections of the boat masts dancing like notes on a musical score among the water lilies. A butterfly even landed on my painting briefly. What a beautiful memory of summer days in Hamburg.
Can’t believe it was one month ago that we spent days watching jaguars. I didn’t know why our boat driver steered the boat into a quiet small river. There was no other boat, it seemed nothing was happening. Then suddenly out of nowhere this jaguar jumped out and dashed into the water. We didn’t even see what he was trying to catch. He retreated on to a tree empty-handed, but he didn’t seem to care and started doing what cats do: licking and cleaning his paws and face. It was magical, only us watching this big cat grooming, less than 10 meters away 😍
This must be the inspiration of Avatar! It was mesmerising to watch the red-and-blue macaws flying at Buraco das Araras, a massive geological sinkhole famous for the macaw residents. We were so lucky to even witness a red-and-blue macaw pairing with a blue-and-yellow macaw, which is very rare in the wild. Have to paint these two love birds 😍😍😍
Just back from a six-week trip to South America. I found it so funny when I woke up and saw the red light under the TV, my first thought was “oh, crocodile!” Then I realized I was not in Brazil any more and I was a bit disappointed. I never expect this Brazil trip would leave such a huge impact on me. It was like stepping into Zootopia and I’ve never been surrounded by so many wildlife in my life! Among all the beautiful birds, Macaw is probably the most amazing with all sorts of crazy colours and yet they work totally fine together. Nature is truly the greatest artist!
Lovely Jacaranda in front of a bright yellow house in the Hunters Hill. Went to see it again and found the jacaranda tree gone. Sometimes I feel I am capturing history, an old house gone, a broken jetty sank, a beautiful tree gone. There is sadness but there is beauty in it.
After delivering a Bondi painting to the eastern suburbs, I decided to go for a walk along the coast. I parked the car and opened the door, this Yellow-tailed black cockatoo was having breakfast right in front of my eyes! What a treat! I always love their yellow cheek patch, but never got the chance to observe so close. The cheeky bird was not camera shy at all, took its time to enjoy the banksia. Unfortunately its partner was annoyed by some noisy miners on the other tree and decided to find a quieter spot. Such a beautiful sight watching them flying over the waves 😍😍😍
