Drawing of my husband

This drawing of my husband, Chai was done many years ago. He sleeps alot because of his illnesses. His face shows a lot of pain because of his sleep apnea and this drawing captures it. 

self-portrait

 

An Emperor in China once said we paint our faces white, why do you paint the shadows in yours. It makes your faces look dirty, that's why I didn't like this painting.

This self-portrait was done about 20 years ago in Amphitheatre. I was then a realist painter, but since getting a degree, I have started to paint in an abstract way and found a style called Outsider Art, which I now adopt because of my illness.

Tempted

When temptation comes your way, do you look and stay, or do you like Joseph of the coat of many colours, run away?

Local outback artist, Connell Lee, an artist who has painted in a very "heightened reality" way which is more finely detailed than a photo. He is not readily accepted by the academic and regional galleries and is seen more of an illustrator than an artist. Currently showing at RADMAC.
