life drawing

Here's one drawing work I've been working on -

 It's been lots of fun returning to drawing after painting for so long. 
...and now, below is me hanging for BIA exhibition.

These and more will be hanging at biannual starting Friday evening, November 2 at Brisbane Institute of Art.

Three figures on green

Happy holidays!

Tents - check, eskies - check, tarps - check...

...and of course I'm taking my gouache set and some paper and shall be painting my way around the camp site at Stradbroke Island these holidays.

So, I'm with these three cool cats...camping out and chillin' a little! 

(The foreshortening in the painting was pretty tricky)

New Farm - revisited

What's not to like about New Farm park.  My nonna lived there for many years, so did many of her friends. My brother, sister, cousins and I played there as children and the our children have too... Then there's the river, the roses, the Moreton bay fig trees, the Powerhouse... So here are a few paintings I done recently.
What places in Brisbane do you love?

My favourite Australian figurative painter - Wendy Sharpe!

This photo is taken with the lovely Wendy Sharpe at an ArtWorkshops Australia in Surry Hills last weekend.

Eleven participant spent Saturday and Sunday painting with Wendy - it was a fab way to spend a weekend. We had a model both days, used acrylics and pretty large brushes. Ms Sharpe's style of teaching is very encouraging, generous and humorous...  

As for feedback while you work, she knew each time she looked at my work what it needed - but treated as a learning moment rather than 'do this, do that'

The EKKA is here again

Hey there...are you going to the RNA show this year? I love milling among the exhibitor pavilions and seeing all the creative stuff people across Queensland have been making.

So, if you find yourself near the Auditorium, maybe check the paintings and drawings... I have 3 paintings hanging - 2 landscapes from my Brisbane Icons series and one scooter work.

Personally I can't wait for some Devonshire tea and watching the cows in the Community arena...mooooo

Is that someone hiding in the shrubs?

Out on a Sunday run to the bay, they stop by the side of a road...I think I hear something in the bushes...so do I??

But really, these are two new small format (30x30cm) paintings and for a change painted on canvas rather than linen
