through the window

The studio beckons but it has just been too cold out there today – sorry this image is a bit blurry but it is taken looking from my kitchen into the studio.  Some life drawings on the wall from last week and an old ceramic figure (12 months old) that I have just started painting. through the window

installation – drawer(n) from life vimeo file

We are all done and dusted –  monday morning saw us delivering the work to Noosa Regional Gallery.  If I thought my task of getting everything there safely was an ordeal – the gallery staff were exhibiting a well oiled machine.  In two days they de-installed two huge exhibitions and installed four new shows.  A huge thank-you to their professionalism and capability and curatorial prowess in making my small contribution a pleasure to view.

I am attempting to upload a video of the installation via vimeo  – the link below is to a vimeo file

Opening night and artist talk have all gone off without a hitch – now I clean the house!!!

waiting for david_ sketchbook entry

Yesterday I was lucky enough to sit uninterrupted for a couple of hours waiting for David who was having a MRI (nothing life threatening – I hope). I started reading then pulled out my sketchbook. These could be some new caryatids developing – I need to get some new sculptures finished in the next few weeks for another adventure – hopefully I will have more to report on this front in the coming months.  biro in A5 sketchbookwaiting-room

some lovely things happening yesterday at life drawing – a terrific model (one of my favourites) and I was enjoying myself – what more can one ask for?

monoprint

untitledI have just starting to play around with mono prints – this was done by painting acrylic onto glass and taking a print by placing the paper on top and pressing with my hand.  I have then worked back into the print with charcoal.
