Just setting up my new studio. We've made the seachange/treechange to the spectacular southwest coast of Victoria, and I am loving it!! No painting happening yet, but it will. https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #treechange #seachange #southwesternvictoria #australianartist #annemiddleton #inmystudio #artistsstudio #newstudio @gb.art.consulting https://ift.tt/2SZYLUo

I always take my paintings outside on a grey day to photograph them. The alley behind my studio is perfect - quiet and deserted. This is one of my #gatesofparadise series of #oilpaintings. Over 120sq metres of interlocking paintings. (More than 80 paintings this size) https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #outdoorstudio #annemiddleton #gatesofparadise #australianart #floriography #botanicalart #passionflower #passifloraedulis #strawberry #cherry #oilonlinen @gb.art.consulting https://ift.tt/2L2PJS1

Dirty marks on linen are a pest, but luckily they almost always come off easily with a plastic eraser. Those cheap softish white ones you can pick up in newsagents. https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #handyhint #oilonlinen #annemiddleton #inmystudio #gatesofparadise#australianartist #floriography #botanicalart #botanicalartist #gbartconsulting #cleanup #artrestoration #paintingrestoration #rosebud https://ift.tt/2QJHLke

A diptych from my series of #oilpaintings #gatesofparadise showing how the panels lock together. Over 80 panels now completed over the past 10 years, each measuring 96x126cm. It's hard to show the scale of this series of interlocking oil paintings but it covers 109 square metres. https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #annemiddleton #peach #prunuspersica #apple #malum #gbartconsulting @gb.art.consulting #botanicalart #botanicalartist #floriography #melbourneart #melbourneartist #australianartist #australianart #contemporaryart #oilonlinen #massivepainting #largescaleart https://ift.tt/2z9louV

That's just how I like it. In my studio, blissfully quiet, with my dog at my feet. https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #inmystudio @bonnierozeck #missyrozeck #oilpainting #australianartist #portraiture #australianterrier #inmelbournetoday https://ift.tt/2OsaNWi

Something from the past... 'Silver Whiting', 2007, oil on linen, 96x152cm One of the paintings in my series 'Oceania Australia' - utilising painting techniques from the Baroque period using tons of juicy paint! https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #baroquepaintingtechniques #oilpaintingtechniques #oilonlinen #oilpainting #annemiddleton #silverwhiting #australianartist #gbartconsulting @gb.art.consulting https://ift.tt/2xO0CzZ

The fragility and translucency of skin. Enthralling to paint. https://ift.tt/2tw3w8c - #oilpaint #oilonlinen #portraiture #portrait #skin #skintones #annemiddleton #australianartist #melbourneartist #ilovemyjob #workinprogress #gbartconsulting @gb.art.consulting https://ift.tt/2YvcWkn

It's really difficult to show the scale of my oil paintings in images, so here's a shot of me, my brushes and a corner of a painting ... http://bit.ly/2tw3w8c - #oilonlinen #largescaleart #gatesofparadise #annemiddleton #workinprogress #inmystudio #melbourneart #australianartist #gbartconsulting #botanicalart http://bit.ly/2GY90RF

To photograph my finished paintings, I use the laneway behind my studio. Quiet and perfect light on a grey day. http://bit.ly/2tw3w8c - #oilonlinen #photographingartwork #gatesofparadise #annemiddleton #gbartconsulting #melbourneartist #australianartist #oilpainting #botanicalartist #botanicalart http://bit.ly/2UJqoi8
