Lois Button and Sally Miller @ Space22

Yesterday we went to see Lois Button's drawings on Hanji paper which she bought back from South Korea. Chai liked the drawings very much except for the theme of aging. The flowers were quite beautiful but the skulls were a bit morbid, he thought.

Sally Miller's paintings on skin deep gave Chai the horrids. He did not like it very much at all, otherwise the techniques were quite good.

Art @ Burnley Harbour

This morning we took a train ride down to Melbourne to see the Contemporary Art Society of Victoria's annual art show at Burnley Harbour. There were a few good pieces and Dawn especially liked Shirley Dart's abstract art, other than that, I think our local Ballarat Society of Artists can paint better and more impressive than what I have seen. It was good to see the amatuer art scene and what people are painting. Some of the prices were quite low and some were ridiculously high.

 

 

 

Christmas drawings by our primary kids

Imogen's drawing of the Nativity

 

Miranda's Nativity drawing

Chloe's Nativity drawing

These kids are around 8 years old, and quite able to draw on the Gospel themes we have been sharing with them. Very vivid imaginations, I say.

 

Mark Fox @ Space22

Mark’s paintings of rock are incredible, I would get bored looking at rocks, but he can paint each piece of rock as it was distinct from another and the details! Pretty but all the same boring rocks!

 

Doug’s Bowen Studios, Buninyong

Doug Wright and Anne Saunders have a really nice studio at their home.

Gallery hopping in Surrey Hills, Sydney

This afternoon we visited a couple of galleries, one ARI @ First Draft Gallery, we particularly liked this painting:-

 

 

And then we met a very nice lady, Clementine at Chalk Horse Gallery, a commercial gallery which has a stable of 11 artists.

 

 

Spring paintings

These two new paintings are going into ebay to test the waters.

It would be good to know how they are received at ebay.

Both paintings are done this month.
