where on earth can u ??????

Where on earth can u ..........................????? treak an hour too see the one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world . Dance the nite away with the american navy as their boat has just landed . almost get taken by a croc while ur trying to get an amazing photo of waterlillies . ........u would be in DARWIN . Its one of the most amazing fun places on earth and terrific too paint as well . Some on my best times have been there ...........................they have the most fantastic margaritas in cullen bay along with sensational fresh seafood  . The markets are the best in the world with some of the best asian foods i have ever tasted but mostly the people are the friendliest around.It is also lots of fun too party in , u just have too have a lust for life and always remember what happens in darwin stays in darwin. xox

break all the rules

One question i always get is how did i learn too paint like this .....................i am self taught . I over the years had various lessons of course but no one but me came up with my style . It happened natually as its ment too . I paid great attention too my own ideas and brush strokes early on and went with it . clearly having strong bold drawing skills also helped . I started out as conservatively trained meaning i could paint realistic portraits and very beautiful shack in the back country landscapes . By learning the rules i could then many years later break them ...........................and break them i did . This would never have happened if i did not spend hours at my craft everyday , day in day out in my school years . I do think natural talent and destiny play a large role too. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and the shear love of colour and painting . lol. I am influenced by the masters only and have no interest in what modern artists of our time do as thats my seceret in keeping my style pure . I have no interest in hitting a local gallery i would rather walk the halls of the getty in LA  and marvel at DEGAS ballerinas in the flesh .
I never wished to paint like anyone but me and never will . xox

the most perfect colour ...................GREEN

GREEN is the colour of life. most fantastic and was when i first started too paint in oils ....emerald green was my  favorite colour . just so lush and vibrant . Over many years of my pink obsession which i still adore and worship all things pink .......................GREEN  has slowly crept on me . It started with mint green and yeap it looks super with pink so i went with it . Then i went from a redhead too raven and well its just a fact green looks amazing with black hair . Its such a hard colour too find ...................while in santa monica in los angeles i went too the very fab hotel the viscory it was decked out with splashes of a bright green . its a mix of EMERALD/LIME...................totally amazing . I stumbled into the amazing ladies room of them all in floor to ceiling green tiles , very overwhelming too most but so extrodinary too me . I fell in LOVE with the colour that day . My brushes are always covered in green these day it just works to well with other bright primary and sceondary colours. SO YES I HEART GREEN   

starr's only come out at nite.

Well it would appear my love affair with PARIS will not fade anytime soon . I am constantly getting galleries requesting new work from this magical city . I could think of nothing better than too paint paris and its fantastic cafes etc  . It's the night life however i love ..................everything seems more beautiful when its sparkles. I love a starry  night and every night this is just repeated over and over again  whats not too like .I do think artists are all very different and what would appeal too one my not appeal too another . My name is STARR and lets face it star's only come out at nite .......................So paint the night i will . I have always been drawn too the nite and frankly cant stand the sun its upsets me greatly . I have always preferred to paint the night away and sleep in ..................SO PLEASE DONT CALL BEFORE 11am . lol. I simply find colour of the night breathtaking ................thats it plain and simple .
