Well another term has passed by in no time at all.  One of the projects we worked on was reflections in the rain.  I managed to complete 2 pieces and the 3rd piece was a little extra I did at home of a local hot spot.  The little car piece was my first branching out into oils which was very exciting (and I must admit I am liking the feel of oils very much I think I've found myself a new favourite medium).  Hope you enjoy, all pieces are available for sale so please visit my website for prices and more information.

Yesterday was the start of 1st term back at Splashout Studios and what a great session we had.  Concentrating on honing our drawing skills.  The first 2 images are loosening up exercises, with the final image obviously being the finished draft (for some future masterpiece haha).  This is what I love about Splashout Studios - you learn stuff.  What a great start to the year - I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us this term.

that's the life - italy style

3rd term this year at Splashout Studios Art, was all about Italy.  Some lucky ladies were able to join Jenny and Krysia (Splashout) on a two week art group trip to Italy this year and brought back a deluge of photos from their travels.  The 3 paintings below are my final products (unfortunately I wasn't one of the lucky ladies, but next time!).  This is one of the reasons why I love going to Splashout - you get to try your hand at different techniques and paint things you probably normally wouldn't think to paint.   "Wooden Horse" was a classic example of this, and I enjoyed doing it so much more than I expected.  ("Wooden Horse" has sold, but the other two are still available for sale).

My featherstar painting "Serenity" has now sold from display at Ekhidna Wines, together with two small abstract pieces "Orange Delight" and "Purple 3D".  "Serenity" was one of those paintings I wouldn't have minded coming home to roost for a while so I could enjoy it, but at the end of the day, if I kept all my paintings I'de need another house to hang them all.  Thanks again Ekhidna for showcasing my work.

Utility Room/Art Studio Reno's:

19/9/2013

2 Comments

 
Well the utility room come Art Studio reno's are still a work in progress - albeit a slow work in progress.  So far, we have managed to get the tiles up off the floor (which were of course, cemented in) and a new layer of cement put down to bring the floor level in line with the rest of the room.  We now have to wait a couple more weeks for our tiler to come back from his holidays before he can lay the actual tiles!  Oh well - it has given us an opportunity to do the painting without having to worry about spillage.  That should be finished this weekend.
