This cool Mosaic is made with Big Huge Labs Mosaic maker. I followed the instructions on a good blog    called little red school house which has great photos I follow. You need to have a flikr account  and be patient. As I said on my previous post, I have plenty of time to do this with my feet up. All these photos were taken by myself in my local area.  The centre one is  Sunrise  at Sunrise taken a few months back.Very inspiring, now you know Why I love where I live.

Tuscan Hilltop Village Painting by Chris Hobel Australia

This is the first stage of my  8x8 oil painting using reference from a village in Tuscany I visited last year in early spring. I took lots of photos on my trip.This was on one of the few sunny days. It was meant to be a quick painting but alas it had a lot of detail. A close up is below. Im using Archival Oils, the special fast drying white is really great for me as Im more used to painting  with acrylics
