TWO WEEKS since an entry - i've been away to Melbourne and back in that time.
including the ones
i've done of sonja,
rene and sunny
i've done 26,
can't stop but i'm
ready to think
about starting a
large portrait
of sonja
I headed down to Melbourne on Feb 7th and stayed two nights with vicki in south melbourne - these beautiful roses are from her
queenscliff home
SATURDAY - my exhibition opening in Canterbury. with the corona virus causing nervousness about chinese visitors we were very happy with the turnout. Jiang Jianwen's work was lovely, very detailed illustrations with a definite Chinese influence, he has a wonderful control of watercolour. Tony Scott opened the show and lots of friends turned up - susan and sean unexpectedly, also godwin bradbeer, graeme drendel and mimmo.
jianwen and i each
did a short talk
about our work
gail and tony with ian, below with the anns, i was thrilled with the group of people who came, i sold four works and lots of books
and to top of the day there was a beautiful full moon
I stayed with don on the way home, jenny came up from torquay. it was a classic roast lamb/scrabble night, with beestings and vanilla
slices from the Birchip bakery.
Back home now, the kangaroos have been enjoying my overgrown
lawn, these are two very large males but the mother and her joey
have been back too. it's lovely having them around
THE SELF PORTRAIT PROJECT is going well, i now have a grid of sixteen to enter in the archie, the portia geach and the doug moran.
I'm still working
on my self
portraits, this is
the latest, complete
with old lady
chook neck - it's
fascinating to see
how each one
is so different

the middle of swanston street, walking distance to lygon and
the city, tramstop right outside, only $75 a night
