An interior shot looking at a panelled window, center- aligned and filling the frame. It has six panels and the wood is painted black. It's set deep into the white-washed wall, and an array of potted plants fill the window sil; cacti and aloe and more besides. There's a small brown table in front of the window, and warm light filters through onto it.
A wooden fenced walkway leads through a forest of tall pine, above thick undergrowth. There's a figure in a yellow hoodie standing on the walkway with their hands in their pockets, looking out at the forest.
Some small wooden boats lined up on a narrow stretch of water where water plants are growing, and a blue cloudy sky is reflected in the still surface. There's a tent in the background, on some lush green grass against reeds. A couple of the boats are blue with chipped paint, one is orange. There are rolling hills in the distance.
A night time city street scene with bright, colourful neon signs bouncing light off glass-fronted buildings. The street is full of people, but all are holding umbrellas, white, black, and transparent.

Aerial view of green staggered rice fields making wavy lines in a landscape, with a small valley with trees and some wooden buildings.
Still life; a copper jub, bars of creamy white soap, and dried olive green leaves, in a wicker basket on a white cloth against a grey background.
People walking along a sunny street, the background blurred. There's a red brich wall in the foreground, and a sign that reads 'Market Cafe, The Caboose' beneath a green, red, and white striped cloth awning. There are earthenware pots of flowers along the street and a bush with pink flowers further along, and the buildings leading away from the camera are red brick and white.
Isolation of a single peachy-orange hisbiscus flower and stalk with a few leaves, against a grey-white background. It's lit softly such that the colours are in pastel tones.

Uma foto de um desenho em papel e grafite. O desenho mostra uma modelo de corpo inteiro, com a cabeça levemente virada para a esquerda a mão esquerda é apoiada ao bro esquerda, enquanto o ombro direito permanece levantado com a mão apoiada na coxa direita; a perna esquerda permanece reta com o quadril virado para a esquerda, e a perna direita fica dobrada com o joelho e pés apontandos para a direita. Tal modelo usa um cabelos longos abaixo dos ombros semelhante aos usados nos anos setenta e oitenta com uma expressão serena em um rosto cheio de pintinhas; um macacão com um decote profundo até a barriga que mostra os seios médios cobertos de pintinhas e com uma barra boca de sino, e um cinto preto de fivela que cobre o quadril inteiro; e por fim, usa sapatos brancos.

Landscape of a countryside in soft pastels; a neat dry stone wall cuts through the image from right to left with an open wooden gate on the right leaning aginst the wall. There's a muddy grass field in the foreground. The wall leads down to a copse of trees at the bottom of the gentle hill, with taller hills and then mountains behind in yellow-brown tones. The sky is a pale blue with fluffy white clouds, and the horizon is hazy.

Rusted old petrol pumps surrounded by tall grass against a dark wooded backdrop. Their white paint is chipped and showing through red rust. One of them says 'Super' in white letters on blue. There's something that might be a rusted wheel rim half hidden in the grass, and a white brick wall and garage door on the right to the side of the pumps.
An otter standing up, visible from the waist up, looking off to the left attentively against a soft blurred background of brown and green.
A peaceful misty scene of narrow roads flanked by frosty grass and one tall, skeletal tree silhouetted against the warm foggy sky.
The corner of a cobbled street. There's a small pub in the foreground, with a dark brown wooden facade and green and gold painted signs, and other old buildings curling around the street on the right, one painted light yellow-green, the others red brick with red tile roofs.

The front of a cafe, painted in muted teal, next to an orange-yellow building. There's a thick tree branch crossing the frame in front of the building near the top, with red bird houses hanging from it. There's a canvas awning over the large wood-framed window and doors, wooden tables and chairs on the street outside, and lots of potted plants.
A large ornate vintage chair with a decorative wooden frame, painted white, and cream-coloured cushions with floral patterns, sitting on a pale wooden laminate floor against a warm grey wall. There's a white ceramic jug on the seat of the chair, filled with a posy of big pink flowers and vibrant green leaves.
A person in a long pastel pink and blue-floral dress sitting on a white sofa. They have long dark hair that hangs down over their shoulders. One knee is raised with their elbow resting on it. The skirt of their dress is spread out over the sofa.

Looking over a beach, the sand messed up by rain, to a flat steely ocean under a grey sky. There's a single small stool sitting on the sand a way out. On the left and right, cliffs and rocks frame the scene.
An old harbour building with white wood panels and bright blue wooden garage doors and many-panelled plan windows. A sign reads "Gordons Bay Ship Supplies'. It looks quaint and rustic.
Green and yellow lichen carpeting a tree trunk
A narrow two-lane street, wet with rain, lined by red brick pavements and with overhanging branches from trees framing the shot. There's a small white cottage house on the other side of the road, white with light blue trim and a blue corrugated roof and potted plants outside.

Big thread of pics from the walk today. I took them all with #ArtReference in mind so please feel free to use them for painting, sketching, etc.! <3

Clusters of small creamy white flowerheads on a green bush in focus in the foreground. Behind, out of focus, a beach leading to an ocean partly obscured by low rain clouds, with mountains hazy in the distance.
An ocean bay with frothy waves lapping on a sandy beach, leading around to houses at the foot of a mountain on the other side of the bay, under low cloud.
Rows of seagulls on a sandy beach at the edge of the ocean. Across the other side of the bay, houses and trees on the foot of a mountain.
A sandy beach with rockpools and the tide coming in under a heavy grey sky. There's a fisherman standing on the rocks in the distance.

In this image there is a tall tree. Two people are up in the tree. One person is squatting on top of a section of the tree while the other person has their legs tucked away on top of a thick branch and is hanging from another extended branch. They're both looking at each other while up in the tree.

Three people in shorts and summer tops walking away from the camera along a white dirt road. Palm trees and flower bushes frame the narrow road on either side.
A road bicycle leaning against a metal roadside barrieroverlooking a view down onto a lake with scraggly pine trees all around. There's a mist blanketing the scene, and the road is wet.
A light, airy interior space with lots of plants and macrame, white walls and light-coloured wood, with bright natural light.
A three floor white building with green trim and the name 'AVALON' across the front over the doorway, on the other side of a road and pavements. There's a white and orange vintage car parked centrally in front of the building, and there are tables and chairs arranged outside. The leaves of a palm tree partly obscure the pale blue sky in the foreground, with other palms next to the building.

The front facade of a sandstone brick building with white wooden door and window frames and a blue cavas canopy. There are plants either side, a bicycle leaning against the wall, and a menu board just next to the door. Two people are caught mid-stride walking past the building, the man in the foreground dressed in a long black coat and a black beret. The light is warm with strong shadows, as if early morning.
A little orange house on a corner of a narrow street. The paint is peeling and the metal around the windows is rusted. There are plants growing in planters at the front. A network of wires criss-cross overhead and more haphazard buildings lead back along the street.
A person standing in an underground car park, facing the camera. Their head is tipped slightly forward and to one side and their expression is neutral. They're wearing black trousers and a shirt with pink and white designs, a lemon-neon jacket, and are holding the sleeves of a bright neon pink sweater around their shoulders.
A tranquil scene of a lazy river flowing through woodlands. There are leafless branches on the bank to the right, and some kind of evergreen with thick green pines on the left on an outcrop with mossy stones. In the distance there's a stone arch bridge and a row of darker pines.

Fun clouds at the beach earlier today

Feel free to use for #ArtReference

A rocky beach with a pebble path leading away next to some scrub-covered sand dunes on one side. The tide is low and just visible as a strip of blue on the far left, with mountains distant on the horizon. The sky is bright blue with lots of little clouds in different shapes and altitudes, some blown into flecks by the wind.

One of the things I love to do the most in terms of art is to paint urbanscapes. So much complexity and level of detail is exhausting but at the same time pleasant 😍💖 :Mona_kiss:

It’s all about the #LIGHT. Anna’s #Hummingbird in the shade, I had a 2sec window, when some sunlight filtered through, hitting the right spots as this young male turned his head.

Great Blue Herons are pretty #photogenic. Here’s another shot of the sequence as she’s ready to land, moves gracefully like a ballet dancer.

Cattail time! Sure sign of spring when Anna’s Hummingbirds are mating, collecting nest materials; female does all the work.

Vertical shot of a river winding through a valley. The right-hand side is red dirt banking with shrubs and yellow flowers growing in the foreground, and the opposite bank is flatter grassy meadows with trees along the river's edge, and rocky mountains with pine forests climbing at the back. The sky is cloudy.
Vertical shot of a row of ponies heading towards the camera on a hilly meadow with long grasses. There's a rocky ravine in the background and the sky is dark and cloudy.
A person holding up a couple of puppies in their arms. They're smiling, their face cast in shade by the conical hat they're wearing. There's a road leading away behind them to a wooden cabin against a forest backdrop.
A vertical shot looking past the edge of a building to the ocean beyond. The left two thirds of the image are expanse of dark grey ocean against the cloudy sky, and in the foreground, shallow waves rippling onto a sandy beach. The side of the building frames the shot from the right; a sandblock and stone brick tower with windows barred by intricate wrought iron, and a fenced stone staircase and balcony curls outwards at the mid-height, offering a view over the water.

Now it is time for the big big thread o' hiking pics.

Didn't take my big cam, so just a bunch of phone pics :)

There's a lot of burned vegetation here, it looks like it was likely a controlled burn - the protea needs to burn every few years to thrive.

Feel free to use any and all of these as #ArtReference .

Burned saplings and new green growth in the foreground lead back to grassy slopes and rocky mountain peaks engulfed by low cloud
Close up of a burned protea head, a dense fractal pattern of overlapping triangles in the center and longer spokes like daisy petals on the outside.
A red dirt track leading up to a mountain. There's vibrant green shrub and burned saplings on either side of the track, and the top of the mountain is vanishing into heavy low cloud.
A Cape Sugarbird - a small bird with a long curved beak and very long tail - perched on the top of a branch, in silhouette against a partly cloudy blue sky
