        The theme is Australiana. The style is whimsical & my intention is to convey a little humor & hopefully put a smile on your face with these childlike drawings & bold colors :)

            Love these charming, whimsical scenes. Very nice! Love the colours and textures. Atmospheric backgrounds. Animals, homes, trees all give it character. You have definitely put a smile on my face!🙂🙂🙂🙂

                When I first saw the title I thought it said ‘Quirky Australian’ and wondered if it might be a self-portrait! :lol: Seriously, these are wonderful. I love how they have bands of almost rainbow-like colour going across them. I love them all, but maybe the second just tips it, with its stronger contrasts and those little roos. I love the fg pinks in the first also. Lovely, unusual work, Michael.

                Yes they made me smile, and feel warmer too, as it’s going to be -4C tonight.

                    Quirky, yet light filled and colorful. They convey a sense of affection for the scene and they do make me smile! I like how the last one runs the spectrum of color from foreground to background, right in order!

                                        Thanks Christine – Glad they put a smile on your face.

                                        Thanks Trudi – Re – When I first saw the title I thought it said ‘Quirky Australian’ and wondered if it might be a self-portrait!
                                        Now that would be interesting. The result would be hilarious, no doubt.

                                        Thanks Bardo – Re – I like how the last one runs the spectrum of color from foreground to background, right in order!
                                        I try to paint like a child with this style & attempt to include all the colors of the spectrum as a child would do. Appreciated.

                                        Thanks Caroline – Re – Makes me smile and feel instantly happy when viewing your quirky Australian scenes. Charming paintings,
                                        My intentions exactly. Glad you like them.

                                        Thanks – Mike, Wes, John, Lucy – This is an invented technique which is good exercise for the imagination but does absolutely nothing for my drawing skills/perception etc due to lack of visual stimulus. Therefore, avoiding repetition is my main challenge.
                                        Appreciate Your Comments !

                                        Michael.
