'' COMING HOME '' EXHIBITION AT TELEGRAPH POINT

For the last few months I've been painting like mad !! My first exhibition since returning to Australia is next weekend, 1st to 3rd )ctober 2011, with an opening reception on Friday 30th September from 6 - 9 pm. I'm so excited about this show, I've included some of the ''Painting America " collection as well as new works . I guess the start of" Painting Australia" would be a good description for many of the paintings in the show, but to me its a way of saying I've finally " Come Home " By the way y'all invited !!

THE SPIRIT OF THE CAMDEN HAVEN EXHIBITION

Laurieton United Services Club 20th-22nd May

"Sydney My City-Lady Northcott''

The first in a series of works dedicated to my home city. I've painted many cities over the past few years, but none rival our beautiful city and harbour. This painting is an interpretation of a photo taken on a trip home, whilst living overseas.

EXHIBITION " LIVING ON THE EDGE '' at the GLASSHOUSE Port Macquarie till the end of March

The landscape is scorched and barren, devoid of life on THE EDGE of extinction.

The rains arrive, the river flows cool and life giving

Rejuvenation, the landscape blooms the trees abound, no longer LIVING ON THE EDGE

WHATS BEEN HAPPENING !!!

Well !!! I've started to experiment more with my mixed media, I'm excited with the idea of playing with different textures and mediums, found objects and any old thing I can find in Op shops or by the side of the road, and creating from the " inner self"----just letting it happen, who know where you end up !!

I've also been playing with Encaustic --- painting with wax. I finished a couple of pieces before the weather got too hot, looking forward to doing more when its a little cooler.

In the meantime still doing my thing with canvas and Acrylic paint, bright and colourful-----its my thing !!
