Secret Garden

I was on holiday in Sydney Australia when I discovered a beautiful garden planted on the edge of the harbour.

Bamboo Watercolour Painting

Every morning I take a walk around my district and check out the local gardens. We live in an area where bamboo grows to enormous heights. I found a small frond poking through a fence so decided to make it the subject of a painting.

I’ve been experimenting with negative space painting. This is my final In the Garden painting.

Passionfruit Leaves. Watercolour and Gold Leaf

My neighbour’s passionfruit vine tumbles over our fence. Today I decided to paint the leaves of this pretty plant.

In the Garden.

In the Garden is a watercolour painting with the subject of a small branch I found as I was weeding the garden . I was ready to throw it onto the compost heap but then noticed how pretty the leaves were and decided to paint it instead.

 

Summer Tree 1 and 2 watercolour painting

It is nearing the end of summer here. I have recently noticed some trees are changing from green to touches of yellow as Autumn approaches.
