The old bakery is now a private residence just outside Beechworth in north east Victoria. It's a beautiful old brick building and the colours on this particular day were amazing. How could I resist painting those bright pinks, reds, and purples ? A feast for the eyes. Kate Collins
The Mornington Peninsula is as famous for its wines and vineyards. This is such a lovely scene that could just as easily have been in Provence or Tuscany. It was added joy for me playing around with the colours in the garden. Emily Holsman
I captured this image during a European holiday. It was such a charming scene. Like travelling back in time and I enjoyed painting it very much. Emily Holsman

I think the lavender in the foreground of this picture presents a very gentle, yet striking introduction to the wonderful rural landscape beyond. Lind Finch
Wonderful Wattle trees growing on the banks of the Yarra River in Warrandyte. Their magnificent golden flowers were reflected in the water. Glorious. Linda Finch

I started working on this painting when I was staying on a farm outside Apollo Bay. The painting remained unfinished until recently, when I put it back on the easel and started over. Emily Holsman

I suppose living in the Yarra Valley it was inevitable that at some point I would paint some vineyards. The colours were so tempting and also the landscape with its soft, undulating hills captured on a still day with blue skies above. This kind of landscape lends itself beautifully to…
Jim Jim Falls in the Kakadu National Park. I was inspired to paint this scene when I saw a photograph taken by a friend. The composition, colours and reflections were so magical and uplifting. Emily Holsman

Clovelly - a wonderful seaside village in Devon. There were so many tourists clambering around this original scene that they detracted from its charm. I left them all out and added this gentleman instead. He just seems to belong there. Emily Holsman

Willow Creek is a landmark Mornington Peninsula vineyard. I think this is a very pretty building with a lot of character and one the nicest features on the entire estate. Emily Holsman
