I changed it

The big red blob was worrying me - so I changed it. Here is the before and after

AFTER

BEFORE

69 Steps Exhibition at Yarra Sculpture Gallery

I have completed a work 100cm x 80 cm for the exhibition below. Opening Saturday 21st March

The work is called Autumn Morning Walk, Melbourne - below. Inspired by the wonderful golden and amber light that is around at present, trees starting to shed their leaves, and a feeling of optimism in the air.

Works in progress

More little landscapes on paper - charcoal, gouache, gesso, pastel - these are the basics - to be augmented

A day in the studio

This weekend I managed a day in the studio - the first since the beginning of February

It has been a stressful time and it was good to just paint - gouache and watercolour on paper around 8x6 inches, Called Reverie 1-4
