HOT!!!!

HOT!, Damn Hot!! as Robyn Williams said in 'Good Morning Vietnam". Pah, he didn't know the half of it. It's been over 40 C every day this week. That's in the shade. Adelaide's hottest day for 70 years...and we have a few. So not much actual art being done as the studio is, almost literally, an oven. It has steel roller doors that face the arvo heat so it just turns nasty in there. Still, I have attended a meeting re funding for lessons next financial year. This went well so cheers to Phil of Arts Access. I have completed a larger canvas since the last post and will post an image very soon. I'm pleased with it and look forward to feedback.

Happy New Year











I can't believe I've let it slip till 14th to Post this year. It's getting hot now in Adelaide and the studio isn't air-conned so it's been a struggle. However, I've completed a few pieces and spent a whole lot of time varnishing...which really stinks in the heat. I've sent in paperwork for one show this year and done the two pieces for it:Sideways and Tumbler (see above). You can probably work out which is which for yourself.

Photos of work that feature faces/torso/hands that I've posted previously are part of another show for The Adelaide Fringe. There are two more above (top two) and should be six in total. Hope that you had a good Xmas and are enjoying the New Year even if you're not a warm as I am.
