The Lift
These sketches were done from my car.
Sort of "en plein air" but not obvious to passers-by.
My husband was commissioned to photograph the lift of
large machinery and ramps up onto the top of a building
that will soon be demolished.
Bob was taking the photographs, while I sketched!

Harbour Lights
Sydney Harbour as viewed from the point north of the Art Gallery.
It is called Mrs Macquarie Chair: she was the wife of our first govenor, and liked to sit on the point looking out on the harbour. So they named the area after her.
I was there last Sunday doing some watercolours, it was windy and
the sea was breaking over the rocks.

Deep and Still
The canals in Amsterdam are lined with house barges. The water
is deep and still, occasionally disturbed by
tourist cruises. We were on one such cruise. It was great,
as it gave us many new views of the city.

The Mill House
This derelict old mill house on the River Baise in the South of France still has 'authority' over it's environment. It would make a wonderful 'restoration' project!

Coastal Walk
A few weeks ago I discovered a part of our coast that I had not seen before: halfway between Maroubra and Coogee beaches; a path leading down to a sea pool. It was flooded with high tide and rough seas, but looked like it would be fun in milder seas.
I will go back this week to paint "en Plein Air" this scene.
I have done this watercolour as a warm up.
Sold.
