Sunset on the Lake

I know I have not posted much lately, but then I have also not painted much either. I seem to spend my days running around to galleries, organising framing, shipping and every other aspect of my art, but what I enjoy the most and that is sitting down and painting.

I must be honest its not the hectic running around I had in mind for myself. I suppose though once the hard work is done things will settle down and I will be able to concentrate on painting. I brought about 50 paintings with me and the new ones I have painted and I supposed its just been a long hard slog to find suitable outlets for all of them.

This oil painting I have titled sunset on the lake. Compared to SA the sun sets much later here which I supposed is also helped by daylight saving. Auckland is a city with ocean and waterways just every where. Though this is not a particular Auckland scene its just my imagination of a tranquil home on a lake.

This is such a nice painting. I love how you did the water and the detail of the flowers! The bridge area looks so serene, I feel like jumping into the painting and watch the fishes in the lake. Great work :)

I also get frustrated when the mundane duties of life get in the way of the creative parts ...
Sunset on the lake is lovely!

Yes, I think many artists are lamenting that they spend more time marketing their work than actually painting...
This painting caught my eye immediately. I want to live in that house!

You're a very talented lady. Great work on the painting.

How about a Christmas tree, or a snowy scene for Christmas Day? I think you'll do wonderful with either one of them.

Merry Christmas.
