  • This one needs goggles in case of high speed insects. Except sometimes they fog up / / /

  • The original was quite tiny…75mm across by 100mm high. Glad I got a half decent pic before it sold

  • Behold his beastly majesty. / / A big new addition to my bestiary – watercolour, pen, chalk pastel, copper leaf on canvas. He is biggish…35×28cm. As well as on the crown there are little bits of copper throughout. / / / / Crappy shot but it shows the scale: / / / / Shiny shiny / Shiny beast with feathers!

  • The closest thing to a political piece I have managed so far. / / The bowerbird constructs an arch-shaped ‘bower’ out of twigs and brush, decorated with trinkets (usually blue) to impress others. / / What do you feather your nest with? / / 30×25cm, watercolour/pastel/ink on canvas. / / / / By the way, those are not easter eggs. Nope. No chocolate in there.

  • Oh…something bad must have happened. Another set of 3 canvases – watercolour, chalk pastel, ink pen, metallic pen and silver leaf, each canvas is 15cm x 10cm – I’ve created a composite for RB. / / / / / / I make composites of these sets so I don’t fill my folio (and people’s activity monitors!) – if anyone wants to buy one of these on their own, let me know!

  • Fiiiiiiinally finished. A companion piece to this one I did a year and a half ago: I decided the other day that there was a distinct lack of blue paintings in my folio! Had to rectify the situation. He is approx 30cm square, watercolour/pastel etc on canvas. He has shiny silver leaf on his spikes too.

  • I got sick of beakfaces and lizards momentarily and decided to paint some fishies – literally, goldfish…I’ve applied patches of gold leaf to their little heads. Despite being distracted by Eurovision I managed to finish it this weekend!! This one will probably be at Brunswick St Gallery in their small works show, June 6th. About 20×20cm, watercolour, chalk pastel etc on canvas. These enlargements are bigger than life size:

  • “Harmony” is a mixed media production (ink, pastel, acrylic) on canvas textured paper, the idea at first was to create a feeling of stained glass…i have a love of stained glass, and transparent things….i love light filtering through…and how light plays….i was looking for a name for the painting today….and ‘Harmony’ just seemed to go ‘hand in hand’ with these three friends

  • You know that kiwi band, straitjacket fish? I mean, straitjeckutt fush? This creature is badly behaved. 30×30cm, watercolour, pastel, ink, metallic pen, iridescent pigments on canvas.

  • Not the friendliest beast in the bestiary! Somewhat wounded too…I think he needs some ‘alone’ time just now. He is big and took ages – 30×40cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments (on the feather tips) and copper leaf splatters, on canvas.

  • Been a while since I did a beakface. This one has a hinged beak! A bit out of shape though. Little – 10×15cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent blue pigments (on the feather tips) on canvas. Unbelievably, unlike most other photos of my works, you can kind of see the iridescent pigments!

  • In the bestiary there’s also a garden. It’s walled off though, so the beasts can’t trample it! I loved painting the undulating fin shapes of this piece, so I had to do another. 15×30cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and copper leaf on canvas. In this one you can see the shiny copper:

  • Another beast from this series, though he’s a bit bigger: Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink & conte on canvas. / Looks cute doesn’t he? But you don’t want to pinch his cheek.

  • Another slightly deaf creature, like this one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and copper leaf on canvas. In this one you can see the copper on the suckers:

  • Angler fish really are quite remarkable creatures! They live in the deep deep sea, further down than the light can reach, so to lure their prey in total darkness, they have rigged up a system of light emitting devices. They are not turned on here (as he is in the light, and they use up a lot of power so he only turns them on when he is hungry). Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas.

  • My first piece finished in 09! Another octobeast from my series – here’s another one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, metallic leaf on canvas. / He has golden suckers!

  • / Another hungry angler fish I painted for this show. Opens this Sat! Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas…continuing on from this one: / /

  • / / So I was at a sushi restaurant with my friend, and she said ‘ostrich tentacle’ rather than octopus tentacle. A curious beast that just had to be painted. Ostriches are cool – sort of snooty and silly looking at the same time. / I liked painting his funny feets. Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas, 30cm x 23cm. / / / /

  • figurative pastel by Maria Paterson, 1m x 70cm / pastel on colourfix paper FEATURED IN CONTEMPORARY PASTELS / FEATURED IN IMPRESSIONIST ART The circus as a subject has provided me opportunities to explore the human condition. By studying the gestures and theatre of the human performance, I have discovered many symbolic references. In this work “little bee” , the element of trust, striving to reach out, bravery, and the freedom to try, come to the surface, perhaps the changing face of families. The little bee may be carrying those seeds of change “ORIGINAL FOR SALE ” through Hang Up gallery Billinudgel / www-mariapaterson-com.jpg go to profile my website 2010 circus art calendar
