Busy!

I have a few things in the works at the moment. I'm still madly painting for my November solo at Manyung. I've also been approached by the Convent Gallery in Daylesford to have a solo there next year - so will be meeting with them very soon. Plus I'm meeting with a Melbourne
Gallery in the heart of the city on Saturday for a potential show - so excited about that one:) I'm also working on all the art and design for a mainstream movie in the works.. So it's all systems go!

Lastly I'm very excited as Santo has invited me down to the filming of Hollowmen next week for a catchup - so that should be great fun!

Weekend away..

Jem and I had a fantastic weekend away in Daylesford. I wont bore you with the details - so just enjoy the pics I took - click for much larger...

Opening Night Cocktail Party!

I had a fantastic time last night! Jem and I attended the Hidden Faces of the Archibald opening last night and enjoyed every minute of it. The paintings were incredible and strategcally placed all around the Park Hyatt. I was lucky enough to have mine placed in the main room where the function was held. It was also wonderful to meet fellow artists Helen Edwards and Raelene Sharp who also attended - who I hope to keep in contact with:)

Here are some pics - they were taken with my mobile phone, so quality is crappy

Dropping off..

This morning I dropped my portrait off at the Park Hyatt Melbourne for the Hidden Faces of the Archibald show opening this Wed night. With large painting under arm I wandered around the busy hotel until I found the drop off point. I did get a 'lovely' and 'wonderful' from one of the organisers - which is always so nice and re-assuring when dropping off work for some odd reason.

Getting There..

Still a lot more to do. I've started to give the crane some detail and am pretty happy with how it's progressing:)

BACK INTO IT..

Sorry for the severe lack of posts lately. For the past month and a bit I've been quite busy tackling the everyday hiccups life can throw at you from time to time. Things seem to have settled again, which means time for painting is once more! Here's a progress shot of my current painting. I'm going to put this one into over-drive and try to get it finished by the end of the long weekend. I've applied more detail to the face and fixed up her once wonky eye.. Still a heap to do - hair, crane, body.. This week she'll get the works!

Hidden Faces...

I received a letter yesterday afternoon inviting me to exhibit my Santo portrait as part of Hidden Faces of the Archibald exhibition to be held at the Park Hyatt Melbourne this June/July. Should be quite a big event with much media attention - I'm very excited and am so looking forward to their opening night:)
