Artists' Diary Week 24

Not a great deal to blog about this week except to say my good friend Mellissa Read Devine is a finalist in the Paddington Art Prize!

Doing  lots of sorting and preparing for my open studio in November. I need to start now, the studio is in a huge mess!

Friday morning headed off to Narrabeen to do a demonstration. Lovely group of enthusiastic artists.
Looking forward to doing a workshop for them in the new year.

'Country Town, Victoria'

Followed this up with my Friday afternoon class, last one for this term. We have spent the whole term focusing on sheds/cottages in the landscape and incorporating figures and animals. Next term we will be studying trees in the landscape.

'Dookie Shed'

Happy to say I won 1st in watercolour at the Goulbourn Art Show!

'Abandoned'

Sunday headed off to Balmain to collect unsold works from the recent group show. Pleased to say there were some sales!

Coming up this week, visiting a new gallery in Galston, Warwick Fullers' exhibition opening and book launch at The Lost Bear Gallery in Katoomba, Foundation Week Art Show in Parramatta and Charlton Rotary Art Show in Victoria and hopefully get stuck into some painting!

Happy Painting!
