Wild Australian Art: April 2012
http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. Memories of a Special Place. These words and photographs are several years old, but with thoughts of Western Australia's Yardie Creek drifting into my consciousness with increasing frequency of late, it seems perfectly reasonable to revisit them. I hope you'll forgive this little indulgence! By the time we're forced to leave by the encroaching darkness, most of the creek's inhabitants have taken up station for the night. Noisy mangrove herons are often present among the mangro...

Wild Australian Art: December 2011
http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. Staying Sane in the City. Our need to maintain a regular income dictates that for the time being at least, Sandi and I must lead a suburban existence in relative proximity to the heart of the city. Thankfully, as cities go, Perth is comparatively small and its urban sprawl is interspersed with some significant bushland remnants. An incentive to stay on the path! Stand-off at the nesting hollow - lorikeet and corella. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Fun With a Reef Egret. I've acc...

Wild Australian Art: Lion Progress
http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2013/12/lion-progress.html
Tuesday, December 3, 2013. My new A3 printer is proving to be a useful tool, but it was apparent as I compared my first day's progress with the image displayed on my laptop screen that in relying solely on the print, I'd rendered parts of this lion in too dark a tone. I'm afraid the fun is over for another week, and it's back to the day job tomorrow. Having a real job is such a killjoy. I hope that you had fun working on the lion while you had the time. It looks good to me. December 3, 2013 at 10:42 PM.

Wild Australian Art: December 2013
http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 11, 2013. There's a lot of work left to do, but I'm a little happier now that the lion has been partially incorporated into his surroundings. Overall, the colour of the lion is still a little cool, but I'm warming things up as I revisit and refine each area. I have some spare masonite on hand, and I plan to step back from this painting and put in some practice before I return to it next week. Tuesday, December 3, 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wild Australian Art: February 2012
http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. After labouring over the rock wall in the early stages of this piece then having few opportunities to make progress over recent weeks, it was a welcome indulgence today as I took time out from rejuvenating our newly-acquired house and garden to turn my attention - prematurely perhaps - to the primary subject of the painting.

Wild Australian Art: A Tentative Start
http://wildozart.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-tentative-start.html
Thursday, November 28, 2013. We came across two young male lions late one morning as we continued our exploration of Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve in September. Unlike the older lions we happened upon, these younger lions seemed less comfortable in the presence of our vehicle and, after we'd observed them for a short while, they casually moved off, presumably in search of some tourist-free solitude. Welcome back to the easel Peter! November 28, 2013 at 7:33 PM. November 28, 2013 at 7:50 PM.
