1st Interpretation of John 21x26cm

Over my 2014-15 Christmas work break I completed a series of landscape drawings and paintings of Mudjimba Island and Mt Coolum. Another feature was in July, I attended a ‘traditional landscape oil painting’ workshop at Bathurst with acclaimed landscape artist John Wilson. I wasn’t very good at producing traditional landscapes but did pick up some oil painting techniques, some of which I could transfer to acrylic painting and made a couple of abstract by-product oil paintings.
