Sue Kingsford Art

I have loved drawing since I was a child. My love of art has persisted and I mainly depict things of nature in my artwork - whether it is a landscape, or a bird, or shells from a rock pool. Sometimes I write a short poem or piece of prose to accompany a completed artwork. Now that our three children are adults, I find I am spending more time with the paints and pencils; and accompanying Phil on his photographic outings gives me more inspiration.

Pandanus View

Pandanus View

Looking through the coastal pandanus to the the beach full of rounded rocks between the rough volcanic rock outcrops. Grey, red and black tones compete with the vivid green and aqua of the leaves and sea.

Framed size 620mm x 575mm

Grey rocks fill the beach between the rough volcanic outcrops, The pounding ocean has tumbled them over time and smoothed off the rough edges. Each wave retreats, having spent its energy, Only to re-form and regroup and carry on its endless work, While the Coastal Pandanus keep watch.
