As many of you may know, or may not know, I am not only an artist, but I also collect art and have had the privilege of meeting some wonderful artists on ebay and now on etsy. The paintings above are by a phenomenal Aussie artist named Graham Gercken...I am lucky enough to own one of his landscapes, but someday I want to get one of his GORGEOUS Blue Mountains paintings and a landscape with a Gum tree and kangaroo. My husband is an Aussie, and having some paintings of 'home' around the house helps him to feel a little less homesick...(or perhaps it does the opposite)...I know I look at his paintings and think, 'and why did we leave Australia'? You can find his work by clicking here.

So soothing to the eye, these works by Graham Gercken... (And saying his name somehow creates a calming effect as well!) Thanks for doubling the pleasure! You and your husband are fortunate to gaze upon a Gercken each and every!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty...and soothing as well! :)
ReplyDeleteLara the blue mountain picture is fantastic what an amazing artist he has so captured the 3 sisters, I was there for my honeymoon many years ago, I always wanted to go back, but never got the chance, maybe I should go back for my 20th. :)
ReplyDeleteI SO agree!Did you stay at the Hydro Majestic? We took a peek in there and it was just beautiful!...Can you believe we did the VERY scary vertical cable car down the cliff face at the Blue Mountains and I was so scared I refused to go back up, so in 90 degree heat, in pants, with no water I made my then fiance hike up the 1,000 stairs to the top!...I know, he must REALLY love me I reckon!:o)
