Art, ART

This is one of the paintings that I did with the children at my son's Pre-School last week. This will be auctioned off at the Fundraising Trivia Night on Saturday. It's an Aboriginal-inspired painting titled "Children Dreaming" and it has lovely brown, black and white tones. We used a round sponge brush to stamp the circles on. The kids has lots of fun and wanted to do more. Many of them wanted to know why my overalls had so much paint (!) and I had to explain that I'm an artist and these are my work clothes.

My friend Sally was over from NZ the other week and we spent one whole day at both NGV galleries in Melbourne. We had a ball!

This picture was lovely, I wish someone could paint my portrait exactly like that! This was a favourite too. Sally is an awesome artist too and she can appreciate the intricate work involved in these amazing works. The NGV International building seemed to go on forever and room after room of wonderful European art. We are very fortunate to have it.

I am finishing off a few paintings for my Art Sale. More details to follow......

In the meantime, escape the cold and paint. What could be better??
