With the glorious fun filled, action packed, holiday up north to Kalbarri W.A. over –  now its time to kick back for a few hours.

Get our batteries recharged.

And then, head out for more great fun and adventuring in Western Australia.

Kalbarri Watercolor

This small 3×5 inch watercolor sketch packs in a lot of texture, layers, color and mood!

 

The little landscape painting was executed quite quickly.

With the main purpose to convey the colors and mood of the region.

I am pleased enough that it reflects the mood,  colors and richness of the rugged ancient landscape that prevails along the Western Australian Kalbarri region.

In the upcoming weeks, I look forward to free artistic expression to expand and create from my memories, images and my love of the land!

Tips

If you find yourself  – Bored with the same old holidays.

 

 

Looking for something a little bit ‘different.’

Looking for an adventure.

Or a trip, trek, or for a drive  – I can highly recommend the awe inspiring Kalbarri, Western Australia region.

My expectations were high.

And yet, what we were provided surpassed by a mile those expectations.

 

 

  • Whale watching
  • Thousands of wildflowers
  • Sunsets that are stunning
  • Gorges that plunge right into the ocean
  • Ocean waters: cobalt teal, sparkling blue turquoise, ultramarine and frosted mint froth
  • Murchison River, a rugged chasm of a river that’s  400 million years old
  • Steep plunging gorges of red,  abstract textures & detailed intricate patterning
  • Kangaroos hopping about, willy nilly
  • Birds, birds, birds!
  • Ideal Weather –  not too cold, not too hot
  • gosh,  what more do I need?
  • my sister’s company was the icing on the cake

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

  3. Wonderful little painting. Smaller is sometimes so much better 🙂 Sounds like you are having a wonderful holiday. Can’t wait to see the results though your artist’s eye. Enjoy the next adventure. Kalbarri sounds magnificent – wish it were a little closer as I’d be right there 🙂
