Having a free cuppa @ Bean Barn after commenting on post in online newspaper, Ballarat Independent, on Linda Franklin's article of the newest studio gallery in Ballarat.

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.

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.

AS IZ Gallery @ Portalington

This afternoon we visited the Bellarine artists community at Portalington. They meet at a gallery/studio space and have a lazy Sunday afternoon, drinking wine, talking and appraising art and listening to live music. Vim and Ash invited us to join in. It was very nice to meet new people and network.
