Twilight approaching Babel-17

You shouldn't immerse yourself in sci-fi prior to a painting. I painted this one whilst reading the Nebula award winning book, Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany. I wanted to paint a scene that somehow identifies with earth but somehow, it's not quite Earth the way we know it. Perhaps somewhere out there, this scene may be reenacting itself daily.

Oils on canvase 24" x 18" canvas.

Yarramundi

This is a spot where I go fishing from time to time. Just down stream from the Yarramundi Bridge over the Nepean River. There's a new concrete bridge here now but it wasn't that long ago that an old wooden bridge provided access across the river.

Painted on Canvas 24"x18" using oils, this is one of the first paintings that I've done paying attention to the little I've learned about composition. Even then, I can see composition 'rules' being broken in this painting, but it's a step in the right direction.

Sycamore Gap - Study

This one was painted as a gift for my friend Al, (Skid Solo) it's a quick sketch done in oils on A4 canvas sheet. This is a part of Hadrian's Wall in the UK, not to far from where Al lives.
I need to confirm whether or not the wall is visible on the left hand of the painting before I complete.

Richmond Bridge

This painting was inspired by the Richmond bridge in Tasmania. Painted on Canvas 24"x18" using oils.

"The Richmond Bridge is a heritage listed arch bridge located on the B31 ("Convict Trail") in Richmond, 25 kilometres (15.5 mi) north of Hobart in Tasmania, Australia. It is the oldest bridge still in use in Australia."

Lonely Point Ridge

This one came straight from my imagination. The idea is an old fire trail or road looking down a cliff to the water below.

Painted on oils on 18"x24" canvas. I'm having difficulties capturing the light effects on camera, will need to practice with different camera settings to get a real life feel to these photos.

Study

Quick study done on A4 canvas sheets. I wanted to practice flowers a little more with this one. I really like this little study, only problem with it is that I'm too scared to try it on a larger canvas as I don't trust myself to recreate the feel.

Flowing Wild Flowers

Looking through my previous painting, i noticed I tend lean to the darker more mysterious colours and themes. I thought I would brighten it up a bit with this painting. This one really pushed me, done "alla prima" i often thought I bit off more than I could chew during this painting. First time painting in pink and blue flowers, and first attempt at a sunset. Towards the end of the painting I was exhausted (approx 6 hours of standing time went into this one).

Painted in oils and on canvas measuring 24" x 18".
