Something purely decorative. Just for the pure pleasure of putting bright colour and black line into a fun painting. I never tire of dreaming as I look beyond any French Window to any lovely vista before me. May we always have our dreams. Available now in my SHOP. ©ErinHill2012

This is another in my 12 inch square acrylic and line beach paintings. The series are all based on location sketches, and which looked as though they’d translate to a larger size than the original A5. I really like this one. The colours are right, the composition works and it has a very cheerful ambience to it. Available in SHOP. ©ErinHill2012

New work. Small square canvases. Simple compositions. Clear colour. Must be Spring! These first 3 are all based on location sketches which I felt would work as fresh colour with line sketch detail paintings. Getting a good response from those who’ve seen them. The Studio is looking very cheerful. Available in SHOP. ©ErinHill2012

Oh they put on a 5 Star Opening at The Bather’s Pavilion. Between 6.30 and 8.30 the invited guests cruised up the grand staircase to the exhibition upstairs. Da daaa. Those who’d been before knew that if they went up the far stairs, they’d get their first glass before coming round to be greeted. The staff had the wines chilled, glasses ready. A Clearview Sparkling Chardonnay, or Semillon, and for those who prefer a red, V3 2007 Cabernet/Shiraz. These from […]

I may well be able to get back to the Studio. Weddings, moving house, a little eye surgery and intermittent internet, certainly creates a hiccup when one has a major exhibition on the horizon. I did get the line sketch onto the acrylic under painting for the metre square Balmoral feature work however. It’s in the Studio window and seems to be getting a positive response. It’s very strong, very simple, very clear colour. There are only a few smaller […]

I need a very large painting on the main wall as you enter the exhibition. Did I mention my Bather’s Pavilion Exhibition in March & April? Well it’s 2 years since my last one already! So this 1metre square piece will do the honours. Not in it’s present state of course. This is the scrubbed on colour only. Yet to follow when I get a moment – between moving house, Nic & Adrian’s Fiesta Wedding & Term 1 Sketch Classes […]

I intended to show some sketches from our class visit to a very wet Cockatoo Island, but haven’t had a chance to tidy up the work for you. However for something that’s nothing to do with the above – I did a little lightening up of this little square acrylic recently, and now I’m happy with it. One thinks late afternoon skies will happen more easily on canvas than they actually do. After 3 attempts I now have more of […]

Just the usual morning. Get the dogs ready to walk. Get me ready to walk. Off we go. What’s that black shape out in the bay? It’s not a boat, not a bird, not a dolphin. OMG it’s a whale – two actually. Looks like a big one and baby. Awwwwwww. Cute. Suddenly people stop each other to point them out. Excitement, pointing, smiling. Conversations about which way they’re going, how graceful they are, did you see them last week […]

‘Tropical Manly’ is the last one to be completed before the exhibition Opening on Saturday. I have hung the groups in their varying styles, which I prefer, rather than mixing them all around. Because I have location sketches, Watercolours, decorative Acrylics and major acrylics – they look best if grouped sort of together. Other artists will know how tricky the hanging part is. I started a couple of days back, lived with it, then changed about a bit – and […]
