Beautiful morning for plein air at Sydney harbour. Love the company of all the birds 😍

Beautiful morning for plein air at Balmoral beach.

Beautiful morning for plein air at Cremorne Point. Love the spring flowers, the bridge view and the company of all the birds 😍

Who can resist this view of the Sydney harbour while taking a sip at the ripples?

Beautiful morning for plein air at Cremorne point with my Mum enjoying the view with a book😊 A gentleman passing by stopped to watch me paint. He tried to start a conversation but he doesn’t speak much English. I caught a few words that sound like German and we tried to communicate with a mixture of languages. Interesting encounter but apparently art doesn’t have the language barrier :)

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 😍
