Anglesea Cliffs

First painting in my new travel series. "Anglesea Cliffs" is mixed media on paper. 24 x 32 cm

Bob, Honey and I are travelling along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. It's high summer, and the crowds are gone; a fabulous time to explore the lower edge of Australia.
I'm not painting plein air, but I am painting "on location". That means that I explore the landscape with a camera, and draw or paint from my best shot when I get back to our motorhome.
Plein air has become difficult, as I'm so busy caring for Bob, and dealing with the touring side. With this 'location' method, I feel that the inspiration is fresh and I am keen to get the paints out, in the comfort of my air conditioned travelling 'studio', aka motorhome, at night after the jobs are done.

Returning to an old painting.

I have paintings from years past that still hang and are occasionally sold. This snow-gum is from ten years ago, and now some visitors to my studio have expressed an interest.

So I've retouched the colours, added more detail, even painted the sides. It is now ready ready for a second chance.

I'm doing a few 'landscape' Le Tour paintings lately: my two favourite subjects combined.

 This work is one of a "MEMORIES" series, painted in August, depicting a scene from the Tour of France. Rather than a photographic record, I like to capture an impression of a stage, sometimes showing a rider, sometimes a group or team. Sometimes I combine two or more scenes to create the image.
This is a 7 day auction on eBay.

 If you'd like to buy a TDF painting I have 27 paintings from previous years on my online shop.

Watercolour on White Arches 300gsm paper
 31cm x 41cm, (12in x 16in). It will be posted flat, supported by MDF.

Happy customer!

Happy to receive photos of my 3 paintings framed and hung in their home. They are three of my best paintings, so I'm very happy to see them like this.

Please pop over to my web site to see them all, and the other work that I've been doing this year.

Works in progress

Hello! It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. I've been busy with an open studio, Christmas, new puppy!, and now I'm working on a new show in May.

These paintings are of a beach on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia.

White sand, tanin stained water, lots of dead wood.

Not such a romantic sea scape!!

I'll post again soon, with updates!

Stage 15 Mountains

Sometimes the scenery becomes the star of the show! 

One of the main reasons TDF is so popular is those rolling hills!

Le Tour de France Stage 1

I've started my 2017 Le Tour de France paintings, with Stage 1 featuring Richie Porte in the rain. A time trial race, the riders have to beat the clock rather than each other.

Winter Sun Waning

"Winter Sun Waning"

by Shirley Peters

An oil sketch done on location.

The track is called Nulunga Walking Track, and there are lovely beach and rock platform views from it. We are holidaying nearby, and I found these rocks too good: bit rushed, though, as the tide was incoming! And the sun was waning.

Lobster Jack Beach

I am currently holiday with hubby and we are travelling like grey nomads in our motorhome. (I say 'like' cause I'm not grey, yet.) I've bought my old box easel and I'm having fun painting in oils. Normally I've chosen acrylics or watercolour for these travelling trips, but oils are so easy by comparison.

This lovely little beach is near our caravan park on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. We originally wanted to stay for only one night, but it's so peaceful and pleasant, we've been here 5 nights so far!!
