@PeppyPatti I like all sorts of art. Mixed media, textile, woven sculpture, Architecture. The more I see, the more I want to see.
The thing is, I have never been trained.
Most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing. I just happens.
All the wood rounds are from tree branches that have fallen on the property. Eucalyptus trees self-prune during extreme heat and rain.
I just wanted to acknowledge the end of our very wet winter 2025.

Here are some of my most recent paintings, I’ve only been painting since last year in that time I’ve painted over 100 works of various sizes, before this I was a printmaker and afraid of colour. I started paint as away to quiet the noise in my head and hopefully help to occupy my mind on a more positive think that negative self talk, I hope you like them

@Glisten @ your using materials found around your current home makes this wood interesting for me. . You could really make an object of beauty.
These are my notes ,-
Sanding surfaces smooth and add like food safe wax or sealant
Put a beautiful textured surface on a tray.
Sanding seealing arranging a design.
Sculpture
Varnish to protect the wood.
How do you feel about
5 months to go by
5 years ?
Monogram - use wood pieces to create shape of letter.
Arrange them to mimic a cloud or a
Tree
