Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Which color catches your eye more: a vibrant pink tree or a sunny yellow one? I'm feeling a bit uncertain today and would love your input! #australianlandscape #australiancoast #eastcoastaustralia 140

Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 10/03/2025What do I do when under the weather - bring out my sketchbooks pens and pencils. Its a back to basics thing. 010
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 19/02/2025**Speak Up, Brother** *Acrylic on paper (approximately A4 size)* I’m not much of a portrait painter, but I think I captured his eyes well. I created this a few years ago after my brother underwent surgery for bilateral hematomas. We’ll never know how that happened. 180
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 18/02/2025This painting has long since sold, quite a number of years ago in fact. Acrylic on 8x8” bd. 170
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I ordered just a few oil sticks in different colours to try out. I usually work with acrylics and sometimes use dry media like graphite and charcoal. I plan to use the oil sticks as final layers over my acrylics. Any tips from #mixedmediaartists before I start? 010

Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Can you believe its almost February and I haven't even dived into #januarty yet? Time to change that! Speaking of new beginnings, l've got this piece that I started last year, and it's been quietly calling out to me from the studio. I think it's finally time to give it the attention it deserves! 070
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 25/01/2025It's a start abstract #australianlandscapepainting 050
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Almost done! I prefer working on loose canvas because I like a hard substrate for scratching into the paint. Next move is to stretch it and I'll let it percolate around the studio a while. #australianlandscape 050

Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 13/01/2025One thing I am looking forward to today is getting back into my studio, I have deadlines, but I am procrastinating a tad this morning… what do I need, a ritual or a kick up the jacksie? #artistproblems 020
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Bittersweet is the only way to describe yesterday, our wee foster puppies had their first meet and greets and of course, they were snapped up they are adorable. So we had to say goodbye right there and then. 100
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 12/01/2025My wee #fosterpuppies were adopted by two separate families today, wishing them long play filled lives with lots of treats and 💖🥹 010
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 10/01/2025A couple of great resource books added to my favorites. One is "Sight Lines," highlighting major women artists from New Zealand, including my former tutor Marilyn Webb—I've shared an unseen watercolor of hers in the second slide. Another favorite is the book on Joan Eardley's landscapes. 120

Reposted by Rob McMullanVan Badham @vanbadham.bsky.social · 09/01/2025If you haven’t heard the term “astroturf” before, it’s political slang for faking a “grassroots” movement or organisation. I am no teal but supremely fuck this. I hope Monique and Allegra crush the disinformation barons like ants. Solidarity. #auspol 1427381
Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 03/01/2025After saying goodbye to my beloved Mazzyover two years ago, I finally decided fostering would be a good fit. We contacted the Animal Welfare League and ended up caring for two adorable Chihuahua mixes: Corabelle (the blonde floof) and Clementine (the Tassie Devil)! #fosterdog 020

Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Oh what a hectic morning, was up a 3.30am with the #fosterpuppies and then couldn’t get back to sleep, so just got up. Currently sitting down for a moment with a cuppa and bacon sarnie. Before I finish off baking #GF #fruitmincepies Which I have never attempted making before 100

Rob McMullan @robmcmullan.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Back in October last year I did this challenge, self-enforced 30 mini paintings in 30 days. The toughest part was doing reels, they take so damn long to edit and I’m not even that fussy. Anyway the majority of them sold and I think I gifted some. #artadventcalendar 0151
