Four Girls in the Notre Dame

 Just a rough underpainting at this stage. But I thought I should post to show my new project. This is the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. It is very sacred, and we heard choral music when we visited. mmmm.

A group portrait covering three wars.

I'm getting closer to finishing "Strange Arcade"... I have my paints out ready to go... but instead I need to drive across town and deliver a camera to our IT guy...!!
This shows one of the benefits of oils, I guess. They'll be waiting for me when I return!

Strange Arcade (unfinished)

I'm working on a new painting, and watching the tennis at the same time. (possible!) I thought I'd post this photo even though it is a fair way from being finished.

I'm also enjoying the warm night, and looking forward to waking up tomorrow and hearing that Apple have announced the new "iTap". (my guess for the unnamed tablet...)

Success at last

This is the forth time I've posted this painting, and it keeps dropping off. I wonder if I'm offending the nudity police?
I will make a final attempt to post my latest work, and see if it sticks.

Here goes...

Chinese Traditional Painting

I have just returned from three weeks touring China. We (husband, son, sister and brother-in-law) visited modern artists collective studios like 798 in Beijing, and M50 in Shanghai, as well as Traditional Art Museums. It was in one of these museums (in Guilin) that we had a worksop experience: a local artist gave a demonstration, and then we were invited to 'have a go'. It was fun.

I have booked a show

Today is a big day for me. I have booked my first solo show! It will be in Melbourne at the end of February. I have a number of large works to fill the gallery, but I need to do smaller ones as well. To celebrate, I'm re-posting this painting, as it is inspired by Melbourne: a city of lane ways and small cafés.
