Picnic in the Gardens

Picture
I'm pleased to present my first painting for Almost a Princess! I've been doing some much needed work on this manuscript lately and in downtime, I completed this painting to capture one of my favourite scenes - Larissa and Nikolai's first date.

Reunited at Flat Top Hill

Picture
Reunited at Flat Top Hill captures the moment in my manuscript Reunited with the Millionaire when Mirabella and Lincoln hike to Flat Top Hill Lookout on Hamilton Island.

I have long since wished to create paintings related to my novels. At first, this wasn't what I had in mind for Reunited with the Millionaire, but I'm glad the idea came to me because I'm exceptionally proud of this painting.

Anastasia Hamilton

Picture
This piece was created at a Wasted Paint class inspired by Picasso's faces. We were instructed through this painting, but were able to choose inspiration from wherever. Some people chose to paint themselves. I, of course, drew inspiration from one of my books.

Snowboarding in Europe

This piece was painted for my brother Chris for Christmas 2019. It captures his love of snowboarding and trips to the ski slopes in Europe.

This was the first painting I completed outside of a class without instruction.

In the Surf

Picture
I completed this piece at my third Wasted Paint class. We were instructed on where and how to place the surfboards and people. There is no symbolism in this painting. I did, however, choose to paint a border collie instead of a pig.

    Art is a new love of mine. I love creating vibrant, visual pieces of art to brighten up my - and other peoples! - home. While I've always loved being creative with words and dance, I've never been a visual artist. But now, I'm so excited to be exploring this new hobby.

    In early 2019, I attended a social paint and sip night in Townsville called Wasted Paint where we are instructed through the basics of a painting. I loved going there, learning new techniques, and seeing the many different paintings that are created by the one prompt. By the end of 2019, I honed everything I'd learned to create paintings for my family for Christmas. Sadly, Wasted Paint was cancelled during the pandemic of 2020.

    It wasn't until August 2020 when I picked up a paintbrush again. When my little dog Timmy was diagnosed as terminal and we knew his days were numbered, I decided to do a painting for my mum. It helped me deal with my grief by painting my childhood puppy Timmy at the rainbow bridge where my other childhood dog Dillon was waiting for him. During this, I rediscovered my love for painting and set myself a new goal - to paint Timmy.

    That's when I joined Lauren Elizabeth Fine Art's online Animal Art Masterclass. Now, my goal is to paint animals. I also hope to build my skills in landscapes to capture images from my books. And that's the story so far!

    So this is just a little blog where I share the paintings I've created.
