I am so delighted to share that I have completed another picture for my childrens book and really happy with it . Feel I managed to embue it with the right vibe of joy magic that a kid might respond to that I was aiming This one took a month to create at least and many little sketches of the various elements
I have photographed the original image as it was created and also as photographed through a couple of different special effects filters . See what you think


So then now onto the next creative goal I have been invited by my local library to have a photographic exhibition in September and am faced with the challenge of combing through I reckon around 15,000 photos from my travels around Australia last year to make a short list of about 24 photos ….Ooh lala Big challenge
The exhibition will be called ‘A Fresh Eye to Local Colour ‘
Plus I am packing up house in about 6 weeks time and planning to go travelling .Eegads I just bought all this furniture to set up a lovely house. Now I am planning to put it all into storage ? ???
I was going to go to the Galapagos Islands being a wild life nut but its not the best season whether wise and climbing in and out of a wet suit in cold water doesnt make me feel excited or enthusiastic after my experience of snorkelling with seals in Melbourne last year and climbing in and out of that bloody wet suit took hours so instead I am planning a trip to Africa …… Tanzania Serengeti to go on safari ……..
So busy times ahead ………
Just went out to the Beach and Bush Art Exhibition in Kennelworth on the weekend I knew at least 3 of the contributing artists Rob was there doing demo painting .Kennilworth was insanely busy given it was also the annual wine and food fest
Really appreciate Jonathon Jones work seen for the first time as a collection. His style is fresh and fun meticulously executed and very eclectic . His art reminds me of him .As is the Art so is the man or is it the other way around ?
Loved Qld Artist Jenny Newborn’s lovely vibrant mixed medias as well Those two artists were my faves at this show .
