In the Studio
Down at Manly Cove
PAINTINGS:
Here in the Studio is where my work is created. It has such lovely natural light that in Summer or Winter it always feels sunny. There is plenty of wall space to display my watercolours, acrylics and sketches. I can really spread out when doing larger works and I don’t have to tidy up when I leave. This is a very happy place for me. I have my Nespresso, so a good coffee starts my day. Then I can get out my ideas book and plan the newest work. Pop in or phone to see what’s on offer.
Set up for sketch classes

Hi Genevieve,
This is one I did when meeting a group I sketch with. With beaches I try to find something that makes it clear where it is. By choosing a view between the trees I could bring the eye to the space between and where the action was. It’s recognisable as Balmoral by seeing the background and beyond. I also tried to captured the relaxed beach feel.
Hope this helps, and all the best with the assessment.
Cheers,
Erin

I am doing an art assessment at school on Australian beaches and really like your one titled “‘Balmoral on Sunday”‘. Can you tell me what inspired you and your feelings on this piece.
Thank you
