Finished oil paintings

Paratutu - painted with left over paint but it came out reasonable. I am being challenged working with oils and using colour, The way to get better is to keep going! A bit of an Hockney influence with the road colours



I have really struggled with this painting. I feel it is too green but slowly it came right - I think!



The  painting of the changing landscape of Waverley Caves Beach over 6 decades seemed like a simple idea but it also has been a challenge but I am reasonably pleased with the finished painting. Starting to get the hang of oil paint.
