This weekend I attended my very first ever life drawing workshop (at Splashout Studios Art) with the very talented local artist and wonderful teacher Krystyna Ciesiolkiewicz.  A fun day which just flew by, but was quite brain drained by the time I got home (I needed a nanna nap). Don't think I'll be doing any commissioned pieces for a very long while (if ever hehe) but enjoyed the experience and look forward to more practice in the future. I'll keep this work for prosperity - should be interesting to look back in a couple of years to see if I've improved any.

orange crackle

"orange crackle" is the name of my recent abstract piece.  it never ceases to amaze me how something so simple can be so challenging.  believe it or not, i spent many hours just looking at this piece as i was building each layer, trying to decide what would work and what wouldn't, was it finished, or did i need to add something else?  it can really do your head in sometimes. (i wish i had taken some progress shots!) i eventually reached a finishing point and it now hangs on another wall in our lounge.  (For Sale:  $150 Acrylic on Canvas 100cm x 75cm)

art on display at ekhidna wines

31/3/2014

just when I thought I was entering a drought, I just found out I'de sold another 2 paintings from display at Ekhidna Wines, one of which was this abstract piece.  so another big shout out to Ekhidna Wines for graciously allowing me to display my paintings - it has been a huge success and I would not have sold as many paintings as I have without their support.

i've also just put up my next display at Ekhidna, titled "Colourfield".  some smaller (30x30cm) pieces to brighten up that little corner or room (and only $20 each), so if you're interested in any of the below paintings, why not pop down to Ekhidna Wines, Foggo Road, McLaren Vale to take a look.  (ps:  if you can't get down there, but are interested in any of the pieces, feel free to contact me to make other arrangements).  So enjoy the wine and enjoy the art....

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.
