Hey Carol – thanks a stack for the comments – I am on the verge of getting a video camera – I had a look at the possibilities the other day. I just need some time for a creative pause – (o: S

Can I be a helper? I’ll fly right over if I can get a Stephen Quirke original of Helderberg.

I loved scrolling down and looking at the mountain with all it’s various colors. And with all the different skies, some bright blue, some cloudy.

to me you’ve always been able to capture water. I particularly love the paintings with the mountain and the pond.

Can’t wait until you get that video camera and can give us all lessons via youtube or something similar.

I agree with Leslie, especially about the skies. It’s a lovely idea to do a painting for all your helpers – so no pressure then?

It is a complicated scene but it’s good to give yourself a challenge and try something new – one which you’re taking on well.

These are all beautiful, Stephen. I like each piece for their unique differences yet all the same in style. You are becoming quite adept with your color changes. I like scrolling from top to bottom in these and seeing the differences in the sky that affect the remainder of the painting. Good job!
