Walking in the park

Brings back memories of childhood. I remember being here and enjoying such perfect days as a child, as an adolescent and a young adult. These gardens give me a sense of time suspended.

 And a trip to the beach ... and below... Mentone beach - was there in the 50s and nothing has changed....

Collage workshop with Marco Luccio

Spent a very absorbing afternoon with Marco Luccio where he helped us learn how to construct a collage.

These are the outcomes for me. It was good to just be free- to just move colour and images and textures around.

'I have been using fragments of these images to explore new directions.

I highly recommend Marc's classes if you need a kick start and some inspiration

Walking around Richmond

Walking down Bridge Rd Melbourne, there was this lovely gate in front of a place that was being demolished. Hope the gate survives.

Even more watercolour paintings

Painting in the Greek Islands

I have just completed three weeks painting on the islands of Lipsi, Leros and Kalymnos for three weeks with Artemis Tours.
The tour was organised by Diana Psarommatis. She engaged Terry Jarvis as the watercolour tutor.
It was a wonderful experience; because Diana lives in Kalymnos she has local knowledge regarding where to go and how to find great little nooks and havens that even many Greeks are not aware of.
She is also keen to have her participants enjoy Greek experiences - especially local cuisine.
Terry Jarvis was patient and generous in his teaching - giving me lots of great advice and sharing his techniques.
We kept a blog when we were away - www.sueberntravelog.blogspot.com.

If you are tempted to join one of Diana's tours after reading this blog, you can contact her at artemisarttours@hotmail.com.

Here are some pictures from my visual diary.
