Dawn's latest thumbnails

Dawn started another series of experiments in colour with a similar design of the finalist's piece in AAA art competition. Any comments

 

Interview with Dr Caroline Ellison

Dawn had a most wonderful interview with Dr Caroline Ellison from Flinders University who is doing a research on how disability artists go about their creative work. She thought that we were the best example of an artist and mentor couple she has ever met around the world. We were so very happy to be talking to her and hope to cultivate a special relationship with her.

 

Today's art class @BRACE

Dawn gave two introduction to art workshops at BRACE today. 

Starts with a powerpoint presentation on care of brushes and then a session on mark making and mixing colours. They were well received.

 

 

 

Art Classes @Glenda's

Dawn teaches regular art classes at Glenda's, here seen with Liz and Glenda.

 

On my easels-work in progress

Day 2, or final now, Dawn likes it better now and thinks it is finished, Helamen thinks it is reminded him of a Chinese doorpost greeting or welcome sign.

 

Today's painting-Day One

This is the first day of painting, has 3 layers, background, glowing orangy colour, and laying down some patterns might be useful. Decided to have something hidden in the centre. 

In the past, after "beguiled", I was stymied about the middle of the painting, what to have there, now I hope this works!

 

The Sketchbook Project 2012

yiphee, Dawn received her sketchbook today, and the world tour will be coming to Melbourne for the First time, out of the States.

Dawn is excited to fill it up with drawings depicting her theme of "Hope".

Final Day: on my easel

I liked this better, it reminds me of my earlier work.

Two more new paintings

These couple of paintings were inspired from the Sketchbook project 2011

Day 2,

On my easels-work in progress

Started out on a new painting on a primed canvas (1220x1524mm) in the colours that I liked which I used before in "Prancing in Paris". I feel these colours goes well with each other and I layered them in blocks and worked in the lines until they got somewhere.

Reflections of a long forgotten city

 

 

When I begin to paint I have no idea of what I am going to do. I have types of paintings that I love and want to emulate and learn from, they are here locked in my heart.

So, with those thoughts in mind I just start painting, after I have chosen some colours and have had a prayer.

One of my lecturers whilst at University, told me to try and have my colours prepared so all I have to do is paint. I did that with this painting and enjoyed the composition that evolved.

As usual when I think the painting is near to completion I look at the painting for a while (I do this with every painting) and begin to understand what I have brought about.

I get a strong feeling of silhouettes of buildings from the Biblical days, even Jerusalem perhaps, at Sunset, and I think the lower ocher colour in block form on both sides could be baptismal fonts, dug out of clay.

I believe my method of painting can bring about my subconscious and experiences.

Dawn's Nov Paintings

Fresh off the press, untitled yet. Dawn has been busy at our cabin, which she has a good setup for her studio now and don't have to go into town to paint.
