Well the annual Summer Exhibition held at the gorgeous Market building in Castlemaine opened last week

There is a huge number of artworks this time, both two dimensional and three d, showcasing the vast talent from our region in Central Victoria.

I have five artworks on show (and to buy!)

 

 

Castlemaine Summer Market Exhibition

Next Friday 27th at 11 am this exhibition will be launched. 

Featuring an amazing selection of art forms, it is always a great event.

I have been exhibiting here for a few seasons and will have five pieces on show.

When we took the pieces to Castlemaine last Tuesday there were already heaps of work ready for the curators to display.

One of my works received an intriguing compliment from a fellow exhibitor when he said ‘ Gee that is sharp, it almost looks like a photograph.’ He was surprised at my reply…’It is a photograph’

I love painting with light!

  

Hand coloured piece for next year

It is a corker of a hot day here in Central Victoria so what better way to spend the day than indoors working on my art.

One artform I love creating is a Digital Photogram using local flora. While most of these are printed in full colour, I do print some in Black and White with the view to hand colour them.

This is what I have been doing today on a small test piece taken from a larger work.
