Inspired by David Hockney’s use of the iPad for painting, I bought one, loaded it up with the free app “Brushes” and set to work.\u00a0 I find that the iPad is just great for en-plein-air colour notes and for generally interacting with the landscape – setting my mind to pause-and-reflect on landforms and colour.<\/h4>\n

Here are some examples of my iPad paintings done in Central Australia in June of 2015, on a nostalgic re-visit to some of my old painting haunts from the 1970s-80s.\u00a0 My last visit had been in 1993.<\/h4>\n

These paintings are basically quick colour sketches, sometimes of fleeting light effects.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy them!<\/h4>\n
