Norfolk Reflections

It is time to add some of my photography to this blog.

On an Island, you can Imagine that we are surrounded by water and in all different form, Crashing waves, rockpools, gentle bays hiding coral reefs, trickling stream and waterfalls.

Brandt, the kids and I spent a late Summer afternoon down at Slaughter bay which is the beach and reef right in front of the convict ruins at Kingston.

It was a magic afternoon and I couldnt stop taking photos.

So now they are here for you to enjoy.

And now in late Autumn, here is the view from the Kingston Pier looking back over slaughter bay and towards Emily bay.

In the late afternoon from anywhere at Kingston, you can watch the Majestic Philip Island and the smaller Nepean Island transform through a myriad of colours.

Kids room paintings inspired by having my own.

I have changed my style over the years, it still may be recognisable as mine, but I started wanting to decorate the world in children inspired art, especially for bedrooms & children's spaces after I had my own children.

I started working at Raw art Gallery in Noosa when Teddy was about 4 months old (I think).

My Large Florals and Underwater paintings were very successful, but for something different, I came full circle back to bears again, like when I was learning folk art & decorative painting.

From seeing these pictures, I was lucky to be asked to design a series of elephant paintings for a funky children's clothing shop in Noosa Junction called 'little lola lopp'.

They had set colour schemes of lime and aqua for the boys and orange and pink for the girls, I painted accordingly.

I thoroughly love being given the colours to work with or to get an idea from looking at the person's house to match their painting to their personality or surrounds.

I especially like putting special touches on paintings for children such as iridescent or metallic paint, glitter and sparkles, texture and beads etc or hiding their name on a leaf. Princess Mirabelle

I have painted many pictures for my children's friends, there are still so many ideas that I have but yet to do....my inspiration hasn't dried up and a large part of me refuses to grow up & do just 'serious' paintings.

So I am sure that I will be doing children's art for many years yet.

My own children are now asking where is my painting? So watch this space for their ones.
