Valentines Day - February 2019


When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.~
                                                                                                                                                          Audrey Hepburn
Brunswick Green - Valentines Day. 
Acrylic on A4 Paper
Another painting in two daysThe title is a reference to the paint colour of that era housing and to Melbourne where the original photo was taken and there is a suburb of that name. Later I found out there is a pub in Brunswick named The Brunswick Green (though the original photo was taken in Fitzroy, not Brunswick). Later, I found out there is one also a pub in Hobart called the Brunswick with similar colour, that I'd once been too... 
I have included images here from start to finish of process, in descending order.

                                     











Ordinary lives, ordinary things, familiar places - the stuff of life - the cycles, the interconectedness of life on this planet, is the philosophy behind what I try to recreate in my artwork; be they drawings, paintings or other works. Enjoy

Painting - landscapes, people, places
