Caroline Bay Paintings



I have been enjoying a return to painting in acrylics recently and here are 2 works of Caroline Bay, Timaru done in acrylic and aiming to push and use colour a lot more.

The first one is an early evening painting with the moon reflected over the bay ...... 15 by 30 inches.

The second painting also of the bay is a summer time scene with every one enjoying a hot day down at the beach. Measures 18 by 36 inches.

Nor-westerly Sky


We get some very interesting cloud formations with the Nor-westerly weather as can be seen from this photo taken on yesterdays early morning walk. The cloud formations are quite surreal ....... and fascinate me no end.

Small West Coast Paintings

These 2 paintings about as small as I do at 6 by 8 inches. Done from our West Coast Easter trip.
I intend to put them in to frames and sell this size paintings from my studio, festivals and hopefully from my blog here.
