Working out the Kinks
The final day working on this 1.5 x 1.5 mt Oil on Canvas. My largest piece yet!.........but will it be the last? I think not. I enjoyed the journey this work took. At each stage I loved it and yes, I have photos of its progress! Big Smile.
Waterfall Cracks
Oil, PVA, Straw, Odourless Fat on Canvas.
I am in my element again...........None of the paint was left to dry until finished. It was comprised of a series of strokes and blobs with assorted flat stiff brushes. The texture is very significant in this piece and paint is applied thickly to add to its complexity.
What do you think of this work. How does it effect you? what does it remind you of? Constructive critiques are most welcome. I'm interested. Your feed back would be great! :-)

Finches
It is not like me to paint realistically. But just to give a contrast to the usual Abstract Style I like, I gave these loving finches a go. I think they are still a little flat in some areas, but I do delight in them.

Miso, Visiting Artist
The most inspiring thing I got from Miso was that she started with a little idea and little outlay. I think about her work concept and realize how much more there is to do. Her work is not something I visually love, but its her voice and she has been heard.
Natural Outdoor Sculpture
Thirty mins. Yes! That's right, 30 min to create. I mucked around trying to figure out what to put together. I hunted and sorted those 7 brown pods. You would not believe how many shades of pods there were. Colors ranged from green to black. I made sure the ground was without stones, wood chips, bark, sticks and other pods, then placed my chosen few carefully. Those pods are smaller than my finger tips, but I like the result, It's cute.
Warm and Cool
1. Very steady hand. I just wanted to get detailed in a small way. Realisim is not my thing, but I can do i,t so I did.
2. My red pot is not as small as my coat rack, but it took for ever to finish. I kept it half done for something like two months. Trying to want to finish it took great motivation. I was scared to paint the glass lid as I had not painted anything glass before, but I'm happy with it except from it being a little lop sided. High coffee intake......pot done!

Hockney 2012
This work consists of 40 or so photos. Taken whilst in the passenger seat driving down the Northern Hwy heading towards the city. Melbourne. Victoria. Australia.
It was many photos taken at different intervals combining many moments in time to create a full observation for you.
To my delight, (a random sight to see) a hitch hiker unknowingly made a special appearance in my work. After a cooperative you turn to include him. Thank You Mr Annon!

Visiting artist, Steven Cox
Steven Cox started studying in 1977. Did one year of the 2 for his post graduate 1981. He has gradually worked though out his career ranging from an interest in the "More Murders," playing with indoors and out doors, night and day, witchery, and Gay night club scenes with a high amount of drug use expressed. Water color is a medium very highly used in most of Cox work.
An interesting technique he said he uses with water color is to put water color on the paper first, let it dry and then let the paper marks inspire him, then he draws into the colors to create images.

Inspired by Itten
Oil on Canvas.
The first painting is a variation. I love the colours and the textures in the paint, but true to constructive critisism, there is no focus point and the eye does not know where to look or be drawn to.
The second painting is obvious as to where the eye is drawn. Shades of blue, green and mouve minipulated to make the eye focus towards the centre. Work compleat. But in the near future, I will surely add another one or two.

Pixilation
I tried 3 other attempts at pointalisim and failed, so I took a photo at Lake Eppalock, and pixelated it in photoshop, shown in fig 3. Love how it turned out. Fig 1 is a process picture half way and Fig 2 is my finished Oil on Wood 13x23.5 painting. It took 60 hours to finish due to over 150 colour variations mixed and used and the fact that it was applied with the tip of a blunt wood nail. Im very happy with the result.
