This was a pen and ink sketch I did from my front window looking from my garden across the street to other houses. Most of my garden is native Australian trees and other plants and is covered in tan bark as a mulch to retain moisture. This is especially important with summers getting hotter and drier.
This was one of the final paintings done in my painting class on Wednesdays with Michael Winters. It was finally warm enough to go outside and draw some trees and a pond. Then we used string, torn newspaper and card to glue onto the canvas to recreate the picture. When this was dry some acrylic paint was added to complete the picture. It was harder to do than it looks - really interesting and challenging.
