AnneNewman - RuralScene Wilcannia Bridge This was a birthday present for one of my “adopted” children who was born in Wilcannia and spent many years there as a young child.

AnneNewman - Townscape Elsternwick Townscape Inspired by the lovely Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick with its Victorian terrace houses and quaint shops.

AnneNewman - People Troy Occasionally I meet the challenge of producing a portrait which is not my strength. In my opinion this is my best at the human body. I did have a great specimen to work with.

AnneNewman - RuralScene Mountain Cabin Hideaway Here I tried to capture the dampness of the mountains while at the same time the gum trees guard the cabin. Probably one of my worst efforts!!

AnneNewman - Landscape Morning This was one of those quick little paintings one does on a wet Sunday afternoon. I aimed to capture the morning in Central Victoria. It has nice reflections in the puddles from the rain and raindrops hanging on the barbed wire which I had learned to paint when creating "The Fence Post".

AnneNewman - Nature Flying High A simple painting to enjoy our seagulls which are seen by many people at the beach as a pest out to ruin their day. However, I rather like them especially when they are flying.
