Those drawings and a series of plant studies were done in my final year of high school as my 'major works' so I spent a long time on them. I have done other detailed drawings since but haven't taken quite such a long time over a series of drawings or painting again :-) <br /><br />The Red Gum paintings were done from my imagination and really mix up the idea of the gum trees of Australia and the lovely fall leaves from the US. They were done using watercolour and indian ink and some Chinese pigments, while living in Singapore, though the very first of the series was done way back in the early 80s as well. I enjoy re-doing a theme or an idea from years ago in a slightly, or totally, different way.Jane Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809568287344145772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-35772226834439702462014-10-31T18:05:43.221-07:002014-10-31T18:05:43.221-07:00Another group of beautiful paintings, Jane.

I'm especially intrigued by the Red Gum paintings. The technique looks different. The scenes seem otherworldly. I really like them.SusanAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752628219836145623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-17860542819337883762014-10-29T23:05:44.267-07:002014-10-29T23:05:44.267-07:00Thank you Emily.
