It rained and it rained again

This little creation took place while the rain lashed down on the garden, I almost thought I was going to be hit by lightning, but alas only Steve our wonderful cat running out of the garden as he was really wet ⛈⛈

The garden carnival

This little painting reminded me of a carnival of garden fiesta and colour. The rain started then it stopped and started again🌧🌈🌧 Follow me on my painted garden journey as I discover and create new paintings that reflect the ever changing garden in Glen Eden, Auckland.

Blurred day in the garden

Rain🌧💦⛈ Creating this little painting was a strange mix of fast little brushes strokes as the rain was lashing down into the garden. A rainbow came out but I decided to take tiny flecks of colour and add them to the painting, creating a blurred but exciting garden rainy day painting.
Some of the colours started to blend into the sky and the tall tree.
Follow me on my journey as I explore and paint my magical garden in Auckland, New Zealand🌿🌧🌳🌴🌈

The two tall Kauri trees

Beautiful kauri trees that are still quite young in the garden, stand tall and thin like giants guarding the land. The sky had turned a beautiful shade of pink and mauve. Wonderful foliage surround the towering trees. Follow me on my journey as I explore and paint my garden in Glen Eden, Auckland. Wonderful shades of greens and teal and earth tones get layered into this watercolour.

The golden tree at 4 o’clock

Late afternoon painting, capturing a huge tree turning golden in the Autumn weather. Lashings of greens still surround the garden, but the air is cool, the sky is a shade of mauve and pale blue.
Everyday the garden is changing with the weather, Autumn into winter.

Misty garden morning

The garden has a wet misty feel to it, colours blend and merge like a fairground spinning. Softer shades in the background mixed with a soft grey blue sky.

Watercolour explosion at Twilight

Painted garden series, Glen Eden, Auckland. A night time painting of washed greens and inky blues create the mood of twilight. Colours merge and blend to create a moody palette in the painted garden.

Dab Dab goes the paint

Painted garden series #26 Glen Eden, Auckland.🎨A late afternoon painting while all the colour’s of the garden are changing. Dab dab goes the paint, creating a colour block effect. Greens merge with teal and limes, orange and burnt amber shades are settled together between deep greens and inky blue, while a pale blue and lavender sky sit above the ever changing garden.
