Scene at Norman Park. 9x12, oils on board.


This painting was done from an oil Sketch that I did at Norman Park. It`s my interpritation of it. I chopped it about to reasonably please myself.

  1. Vic, this is a wonderful painting. Your handling of the variations of tones and greens is absolutely amazing. You have all the elements in this painting that makes it outstanding. Great job my friend.

    All the best to you,

  2. Thank you very much my friend. That is another cracking comment from you. I went to our club today and did some more sketching, but this time I took some photos of Rosemary and sketched her for a change. Photographs don`t move do they? The way I like to sketch is to do the sketch through tones. The tones behind the features, and then gradually build up from there. I really enjoy sketching that way. Thanks again Joan and all the best.

  3. Hi Vic,

    You are a master of green! The depth and light in your interpretation of the trees is magnificent. Makes me want to stroll down this path.

    All the best,
