Set Up for the Exhibition
We are all set up for the exhibition
Here are some candid shots (of course I am not in them as I was managing the marketing and set up behind the camera (but I assure you we were all absolutley stuffed afterwards)....
Cheers to our men - Phil and Bill who did the best job in getting it all up and straight onto the walls. Through the Lens has 62 peices and so it is not a small exhibition but we did it!!

Summer Grasses
I am loving sunsets at the moment so here is another one that I finished yesterday - I am really happy with it and enjoyed getting back to one of my loves - free form shapes like the grass...
This is Broome Beach - I love the sunsets there
I have only 3 paintings to go til I have my 25 .... it has been a great experience and the confidence I have gained from painting to painting is priceless
Cheers

The Shell Seekers
Once in a while you have an idea for a painting that is off the normal ..... this was one of those
I love Cable Beach WA and I found a photo which shows its marvelous sunset with a little family who are looking for shells - I have to say that the photo I took it from is not mine (I used a small section as inspiration) - and whilst I would love to tell you who is the photographer - they are sadly unknown - I will continue to search though and give recognition to them when I find out
Mediums;
Acrylic pain
Shells
Impasto
Garnet paste
With love

Break of Day
This was from a photograph that I took while in a smail aircraft near the Argle Mine in the NT.... where hte argle diamonds are from. It was very early in the morning before it was too hot - the air was still and the dawn coloured the sky with an amethyst wash. The sun hit the terracotta of the rock faces and they glowed in the sun
Mediums:
Acrylic paint
Teture medium
Garnet paste

Ebb and Flow
I have painted a lovely scene from a photo by Jill Pierce with her permission. It is near to Tarthra NSW South Coast and when I saw the photo I was really inspired to paint it.
This one uses no paper at all - but has glass beads in the breaking waves to give it the mixed media edge.
I counted my paintings today and I am up to 24!!!!! So I am really getting there for the exhibition
I hope you enjoy it
Love
