Titled “Dancin’ ” beacause the male looks rather like Ted Danson, I thought. I tried real hard to make this one cryptic and suggest rather than just show everything. Go to Deb’s website for more info on workshops, giclee prints, sculpture and news on this North Queensland Australian Artist.

This fast and furious wedgetailed eagle portrays the violent reality of life as a top predator in the Australian outback, and the beauty of this streamlined bird of prey. Go to Deb’s website for more info on workshops, giclee prints, sculpture and news on this North Queensland Australian Artist.

Inspired by the palette used at times by Toulouse LauTrec, I created this view of a dancer. A celebration of the thigh, I think. Go to Deb’s website for more info on workshops, giclee prints, sculpture and news on this North Queensland Australian Artist.

This is a further interpretation of a previous painting- sometimes I love the theme so much I have to keep revisiting it to do it better. I love the way the rainbow bee- eater’s colours glow against the earthern backdrop- it tunnels deep in the ground to nest, and I love that contrast.

This is a liitle piece of Australian bush at our property at Bluewater, North Queensland. It’s not PC to cal the grass trees “blackboys” anymore, but how could I avoid the lovely alliteration in calling it “Bluewater Blackboys” ? Bluewater xanthorroea just doesn’t cut it, really. It has a lot of textures in it – I used texture paste in an icing bag for the blackboys!

Lots of vertigo here- the wedgtailed eagle was a last minute addition to show the sheer scale of the landscape. It’s an enormous painting- 1500mm x 100mm. I hacked into some fan brushes to create the leaf fronds on the livingstonia palms.

The title says it all, really- get into it; get into your pants….. probably the rudest painting I’ve made. I was shocked at how much more erotic it became when I added those yellow knickers! Less is more, I guess? Go to Deb’s website for more info on workshops, giclee prints, sculpture and news on this North Queensland Australian Artist.

750×1000mm, acrylic on canvas. This time I went completely nuts with texture paste- trowelled it on, raked into it, piped it on with an icing bag…... love that stuff! Being a Grafton Girl (home of the Jacaranda Festival) means I feel profoundly connected to these marvellous gnarly old trees.

Dora
by Deb GillettA collection of joyous images that are the favourites of my darling Mum-in-law Dora. Birds, flowers, all the way from wildly expressionistic to photo realistic.

I am excited. by this piece because it pushed me to really focus on the texture of the elephant as well as creating realism through many alternating washes of warm and cool colors. Elephants are such wise and powerful creatures, so I wanted to capture the feeling of the wisdom and emotion that this elephant seemed to express.

This is a study of using cool colors in an otherwise typical warm autumn scene of children playing in a pile of leaves. The original painting was done in warm colors, but I changed the colors digitally using a program called Gimp, which I think makes the piece more interesting. In this case, the subject was my sister and our little baby cousin, from a photograph taken years ago.

This chalk pastel was a joy to do. One of my older works, I did a landscape of vast expanse of land next to Cherry Creek Reservoir.

It’s not always easy to remember the child-like wonder of world around you. To most of us, this frog is a representation, just a statue in a park… but to a child, it IS A REAL FROG. Remember how vivid the world was when you were a young child? Imagine having this sensation, as if you were a child again, that everything is large, fantastic and a maybe even a little bit scary- and anything can be real just because you believe it is. This is the feeling I wanted to capture in this painting.

The Gillette Building, Brentford
-
/ Atop the most southerly hill in a chain known as the Seven Sisters, William Hooker Gillette, noted actor, director, and playwright, built this one hundred and eighty-four acre estate, the Seventh Sister. The focal point of his effort was a twenty four room mansion reminiscent of a medieval castle. / Purchased by the State of Connecticut in 1943 from the executors of Mr. Gillette’s will, Gillette Castle and the adjoining property with its fine woodlands, trails, and vistas are now administered for the enjoyment of present and future generations. This apparently would have pleased Gillette, since his will gave specific directions to see that the property did not fall into the hands “of some blithering saphead who has no conception of where he is or with what surrounded.” This statement also points out the value Gillette placed upon his estate and the apprehension he felt about its disposition. / Gillette designed the castle and most of its contents personally, periodically checking every phase of their construction. Built of local fieldstone supported by a steel framework, it took twenty men five years (1914-1919), to complete the main structure. Gillette began his semi-retirement in his new home; and in the following years, he supervised the many thousands of refinements created by local craftsmen. / / Outside on the grounds, Gillette’s influence is no less in evidence. The trails often follow, over trestle and through tunnel, the actor’s three mile long narrow gauge railroad. Gillette’s own walking paths were constructed with near-vertical steps, stone-arch bridges, and wooded trestles spanning up to forty feet. Gillette was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1853, the son of former U.S. Senator Francis Gillette and his wife Elizabeth Daggett Hooker Gillette, a descendent of Thomas Hooker, the founder of Hartford. As a child, Gillette was captivated with the stage and acting pursuits, an interest that his parents did not encourage. At age thirteen, he reputedly had built a small stage and amused himself by frequently giving puppet shows for his friends. At age twenty, he left home to follow his chosen career; but success was slow in developing. He attended classes at numerous colleges including Trinity, Yale, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and College of the City of New York, but never received a degree. His first recognition as an actor was attained when the lead became ill in “Broken Hearts” at the Globe Theater in Boston, and Gillette’s stand-in performance was well received. This led to other and better roles for Gillette. He is most famous for his portrayal of “Sherlock Holmes”. Besides his activities as an actor and playwright, Gillette is known to have written two novels, invented many trick stage props and lighting techniques, and often produced and directed the plays in which he appeared. After his semi-retirement in 1910, Gillette was welcomed by theatergoers countless times during his four revival tours. His last performance was at the Bushnell in Hartford in 1936, the year before his death. / Taken from CT.gov internet information

This outside light fixture was taken at the Gillette Castle in Connecticut. I found it fascinating with all its glass pieces making up the “lamp” part. / Pentax K200D, 1/45 sec, f/3.50, 200 ISO, 28 mm, Redfield Fractalius filter applied
