Bluff Knoll Blizzard

by Andy Dolphin | Aug 8, 2016 | clouds, mountains, photography, sunset, video, weather

Recently I’ve been learning a little about how to predict snow falls, especially in southern WA. Snow is almost unheard of in this state but at 1095m above sea level, Bluff Knoll does enjoy a some light falls a few times a year. I had been watching the weather...

Spring was here!

by Andy Dolphin | Nov 14, 2013 | clouds, issues, landscape, limited palette, oil painting, plein air, sunset, weather

It took a while to arrive, but spring did show itself for a few days recently. But, with summer just two weeks away, the grey weather has returned. I bought myself some new brushes recently. I’ve been using flat synthetic brushes for the last couple of years but...

by Andy Dolphin | Sep 20, 2013 | limited palette, oil painting, plein air, seascape, sunset, tips, weather

Shelley Beach sits at the edge of West Cape Howe, the most-southern point in WA. It’s an isolated beach surrounded by steep hills and is a favoured spot for parasailing, with two launch pads located on one of the hilltops. I headed out there yesterday evening in...

Shearing shed – plein air oil painting

by Andy Dolphin | Aug 18, 2013 | landscape, limited palette, oil painting, plein air, weather

Today, I experienced, first hand, a warp in the space-time continuum. The world turned just a little bit faster this morning. I’m certain of it. I arrived on site just before 9am. There was a bit of sunshine, no breeze and no sign of rain. Almost perfect. I took...
