I made this image in photoshop by merging layers of a couple of my photos then adjusting the colours and adding a filter.
This tulip field watercolour, along with my charcoal drawing of an eagle, won Wyndham City Council’s, Cultural Encouragment Award 2008. It’s painted on A3 watercolour paper that’s over 185gsm. We were told in my year 11 art class to have a quick experiment with a medium that we haven’t really used before, so I decided to try watercolour. I started with the tulip just to the left of the center and couldn’t really stop! I used the dry watercolours that you then wet, – of artist quality. What I really like about watercolour is the way that you can so easily create different tones in your colours just by adding more water, that and the fact that you can wet again and remove if you’re not happy with it. I actually became quite attached to the single paint brush I used for this painting, so much so that when I snapped it half way through, I got some strong tape, stuck it back together and finished the painting with the same brush!!!!
Photo taken at All Ford Day in Auckland, New Zealand and then photoshopped into a nicer surrounding.

Mixed Media and Acrylics on Canvas 90cm x 90cm This is my signature piece, a very special work of art that was created with pure and raw emotion. I love if, it’s very personal and special. I have the huge original at home, and would never part with it. It has been revisited quite a few times over the last 5 years; it’s a continual work in progress, changing and evolving as I do.

You can tell when Princess Aqualia gets angry. The octopus on her head glows pink and orange. You don’t want to cross an angry little Sea Princess wielding a fish truncheon. (Digital collage using brushes, textures and old photos/images/mixed media collage)
for the april showers challenge in MIA Melanie: “At Woodstock, I went on right after Ravi Shankar. There were a lot of clouds and it looked like it was going to rain. I thought good, then I won’t have to play. I was scared to death. It was a lot of people. So I thought if it rained, I wouldn’t have to play. No such luck. The MC had made an announcement during Ravi’s set, I think, about candles being passed out and something about how lighting the candles would keep away the rain.” have a listen candles in the rain
I went out snapping today, trying to capture a few early spring blossoms on stark winter branches. Then I ran a few actions and applied some selective colouring and voila – Le Fleur Rouge!
Variations on a Theme – same image processed digitally in different ways. The photo itself is ‘as taken’ – I was standing under a tree, on top of a hill, it was late in the day and I was lucky to get the light and the blueness of the sky. The processing comes from different blending modes in PS.
