Stillness

Stillness is painted in oils which is a new medium for me. I really enjoyed that the fact that I had a lot of time to push the paint around before it dried which was a welcome change from working with acrylic paints.

Lilies in Sepia

This painting is based on the same subject as Rosie's Lilies. The sepia ink used to create this piece highlights the delicacy and the beauty of the human spirit

RED SEA

This Triptych is a mixed media work evoking the serene dry landscape of Central Australia which changes rapidly to inland lakes during the wet season.

Oceans of Sand

Acrylic paint and latex texture on canvas. Size is 1 metre x 1 metre.
This will be available for viewing and sale at the Art In Heaven Exhibition at Hughes Gallery from 10th September till October 5th as described in previous post.

Uluru

This is the finished artwork. I took about a week to create it and it is acrylic and texture on canvas. Approximately 2 metres by 90cm in size. This painting sold in February 2010.

Artist working on Uluru

I thought it would be useful to include a photograph of artist working to prepare for upcoming exhibition. This studio is quite a cold space in Adelaide winters so it is helpful if one works quickly.

Uluru ( Spirit of our Land)

This work is still in progress. I just bought more acrylic paint today and got stuck into adding some vibrancy to this painting. I think I am prefering to work in oils though there is a place for acrylics in my life as well. Any feedback is welcome as I progress with this work. Email :eviephotakis@hotmail.com.

Spirit of our Land (work in progress)

This mixed media painting also was inspired by my recent visit to Central Australia and is painted on canvas using acrylic paint,ink and texture medium. Size is approximately 1.7 X 1.1 metres. Will be on display at Hughes Gallery (See previous post for details)

Rosey's Lilies

These flowers were given to me as a thank you from a friend and I wanted to capture their essence and beauty. I used oil pastel and acrylic on watercolour paper endeavouring to create a gentle quality.

Kata Tjuta

This is my response to the deep spiritual energy I experienced when visiting Central Australia in July 2008. This painting is 100cm X 75cm and is painted in oils and latex texture medium. It can be viewed at Hughes Gallery at the Following Exhibition
