I’m home from my time on Hamilton Island .Here are some photos of the gallery with my exhibition of paintings. I taught children in the mornings and adults in the afternoon (all up over 100 students) and sold 3 paintings. I had a most enjoyable time and had some visitors come and stay with me for some of the time which was great.
That’s ‘Nice’ as in Nice, France. Here are some photos from the Art of the Prom exhibition which displayed the work I did during my artist residency.the work was a mixed media piece called ‘Out of Antiquity’ made up of 12 small panels. I have included some closeups so you can see all the little bits of memorabilia collected during my stay that I integrated into the artwork.
The Artwork I produced during my artist residency went on display at a huge art show on the Promenade de Anglais in Nice, France from the 7th to the 9th June . The invite pictured here shows the promenade . I stayed in a unit on this very promenade during my stay and would walk along it each balmy evening. Many wonderful memories thanks to Galleria Monteoliveto with whom I did the residency.
‘Castle on the hill, France’, acrylic, 60x60cm
A new display of my paintings has just been installed at ‘The Fishmongers Wife’, Lytton Road, East Brisbane . This painting of a castle and village in the south of France is there. It was painted from a photo I took during my artist residency in Nice . It is the view from Renoir’s home to the village of Cagnes. A very abstracted view!
A short speech, 6 paintings sold and great friends to catch up with. All in all a fun opening

‘City Postcard l’, acrylic, 20x20cm
Our recent ‘Artists Afloat’ exhibition called “In the City’ was held at Graydon Gallery. While I am not a real city person, I enjoyed the challenge of working on a new subject with more subdued colours than I have usually used. If you missed the exhibition, the great collection of paintings and sculptures can be seen in this slideshow here.
