Things That Attract My Eye – Part 35

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 33
Today was one of those gorgeous Winter days here in Sydney’s south-west. We are approx. 60 kilometres (37 miles) SE of Sydney.
All the images were taken on a 3.8km (2.3 mile) walk just near where we live.
Beauty is indeed all around us!
Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 32!
Five of the following images were taken at the Nepean River near where I live. The 4th image down was taken at a local cafe/restaurant/bar also near where I live. It is an indoor plant. Contre jour (against the light), a favourite of mine.
Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 31!
Here is a random selection of images that I have taken over the last month.
The first three are of the outside of the gym I go to. When I was leaving it one early morning, the light was just gorgeous, so I just had to get a few shots.
Two of the images are from a walk alongside a river near us, the peeling paint is on an old car on my Wife’s parents’ property, and the night tree image was taken outside the meeting place where my Toastmasters Club meets.
It pays to keep an out as every day there are beautiful subjects to photograph even as we go about our normal day.
Till next time!

The following images were taken on recent walks close to home, except for an image taken at the Bombo Geological site known as Bombo Quarry, near Kiama, NSW, Australia, which is roughly 1 and a one-and-a-half-hour drive from where we live.

Near & Far
I seem to do a lot seascapes. I live about 45 minutes to an hour from the nearest beach so I don’t get a lot of time to spend near the water. The painting below is another one from the imagination.
Like a lot of people, I guess I find the ocean/waves relaxing, even if I cannot get there, I love to recreate the feeling/sight at home.
- Baohong Aquarelle 100% Pure Cotton Rough Watercolour paper
- Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese Watercolour pans
- Sumikondo Japanese Ink Pigments
- Aquawash brushes
- Size 18 x 26cm (7 x 10 inches)
Till next time!

Towards Another Dimension
Whilst I am enjoying painting standard subjects like seascapes, landscapes, building etc, I like to break out every now and then and do something ‘a little bit way out.’ I do love a good Sci-Fi or Fantasy book or film.
This is where I think the inspiration for, ‘Towards Another Dimension’ came.

- Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese Watercolour pans
- Sumikondo Japanese Ink Pigments
- Masking Fluid pen
