latest painting of a friend's little girl playing happily on the beach at Horseshoe Bay.  Running to the water, scooping up a bucket full, running back to a sand castle as the water spills and sloshes, tipping the few remaining droplets onto the sandcastle and running back to do the whole thing again.. and again.. completely unfazed, completely absorbed, in the moment, happy! Such beautiful times of innocence and unbridled happiness!

Had a great time at my SALA exhibition opening, and it was great to catch up with so many of my friends and family.  Beautiful wines provided on the night by Greg and Lenore of jb wines, thank you so much!  The exhibition was a great success with about 24 pieces sold.  Commissions for new works have been coming in steadily since and I am so happy to be able to justify more time doing what I love - painting!  I now have prints of a selection of my paintings for sale at Signature on Hastings, Hastings Street, Noosa, and I am also doing some new paintings that are going to be exhibited and on sale at CoolArt Gallery in Coolum, Queensland.  I have just finished the first of 4 large paintings that I am sending up there to be framed and hung - very exciting!

Sala exhibition 2012

i cant believe it's been so long since i posted anything.. i think i have been holding things back in anticipation of my upcoming exhibition. Well, it's now happening, with the opening night last Friday. A great night, about 70 people in attendance, lovely wines supplied by my good friends Lenore and Greg from jb wines in the Barossa. Here are some images of the paintings hanging at McConnell's Furnishings and Upholstery at 134 Magill Road Norwood...
