LOCAL INTEREST EXHIBITION

Our art society recently had an exhibition of Local Interest paintings.  I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for it, with all my travelling, so put together a four up digital artwork, having a go at the large number of most inconvenient roadworks going on around Albury Wodonga.  The exhibition was opened by a Wodonga councillor, a friend of mine, who appreciated the dig.

DIGITAL PAINTINGS

I always like to try something new.  Recently I bought myself a new Kindle,  and since then have been using it to do the odd digital painting.  I took it firstly to London, on my recent trip there, and found it a great way to record my travels, not in photos but in drawings.  So here a few samples:
Roses on the Wall - Sissinghurst

Underground Canal - London

9 by 5 Impressionist Exhibition

Here are the small paintings I did for our recent Albury Wodonga Artists Society exhibition, celebrating 125 years since the early Australian Impressionists Exhibition.  The early Ozzie impressionists used cigar boxes, 9 inch by 5 inch, for their paintings, and so I too used pieces of thin balsawood cut to size.  I really enjoyed painting these, even though they were somewhat fiddly for me, who normally enjoys doing big paintings.  I did three all  up, each in different styles.

CATCHUP

Finally I am getting around to catching up on all that work that I've done during the latter part of 2013, and until now in 2014. It isn't all that many, as I have been busy doing other things. So here goes:
