    Spring is Here in Australia

    The daffodils are just about finished now.

    Haven't posted anything for a while, as I'm working on canvas and paper for our local Artist Market rather than the pooter. Nice to be back and keeping my hands clean. A bit rough and scruff, but I enjoyed doing it.

    No, this one is digital Mr Akey, and not very good.

    Here is what I did the other day .... a very quick practice one on canvas. Ref from a generous friend and well known horse photographer. Done in Free Flow Acrylics, pastel, and gouache. Loved doing it!

    Lovely daffodils Robyn - yes, spring has sprung and loving it!

    Your horse painting is really something - I get the feeling of movement - beautiful work.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.

    Marvellous daffodils, but this splendid horse attract by far more my painting taste as a preferable subject for a man, an ancient-fashioned one at least, I'm afraid.

    wonderful paintings!

    I was beginning to wonder why you had not been posting lately, just some comments..but super happy to know you were busy
    with canvas and trad media... always good to go back to your roots I think... love the daffodils and of course your horse, you have
    such an experience eye for revealing form through colors and giving a sense of drama and excitement... even in florals..

    Both are such beautiful paintings, Robyn. I can't decide which one I love the most.
