The challenge painting .....


What a coincidence that JJ painted a waterfall and so did I ......
My painting is from a photograph that I took at the Glenariffe waterfalls ......I love that place ..... it is absolutely magical ....It's a pity I can't seem to catch some of that magic in my painting as that was what I wanted to do ....but it's not finished yet ....maybe the magic will come yet!! .....
This one is big 30" X 40" acrylic on canvas .....

The Challenge: The River City

Watercolour. My first attempt. It has many faults but I feel encouraged to try again.

My words.

"Brisbane - The River City

Power and energy of the city centre contained by the peace and tranquility of the gardens and the river.

Viewing this scene in the middle of the day *flat light), the looming storm clouds invoked a feeling of aggression and menace towards an unsuspecting city - the people engrossed in thier highrise world and oblivious to the approaching storm until it is upon them and the oigjtning pierces their senses, the thunder roars and the water sheets down."
