What have I been doing? ….Working toward to exhibitions!

I have been extremely busy over the last month or so, apart from being sick and trying to recover I have also been painting my way toward some exhibitions.   I have been experimenting with a slightly different style and technique for me and finding it Great!… maybe down the track I might pop a photo or two on here and share them with you before the exhibitions!

Earlier this year I started to paint some smaller works and sold them on Trade Me  which I really enjoyed  doing.  I must admit I have been so busy with creating my larger works that I haven’t really had time to paint any smaller artworks for Trade Me… so keep your eyes out and hopefully over the next couple of weeks I will be able to paint  some more artworks and pop them on Trade Me!

Last Night was the final night for the term for Art- using mixed media course

I can’t believe how fast time flies when you are having fun!

Last night was the last session in this terms Art- Using Mixed Media Course at Hagley Community College!  The term seemed to fly by far to fast and even though we have 2 hours every Tuesday night I am sure it is not long enough lol!  

I am so impressed with the quality of work that was produced from the 10 students that attended this course!  Very Inspiring to me! 

Normally my camera is never to far away from me except whilst at this course arrgh   So last night I used my phone camera and  took a few photos while everyone was working and creating hard… unfortunetely the phone camera isn’t the best for this job lol but I am glad I took them, I have made a couple of  small collage pictures to share with you.

Inspiration – This artwork is based on New Zealands diverse Landscape with it’s rolling hills, mountains, rivers, and the beautiful harakekes which seem to pop up everywhere !!

This artwork is full of lots of unique textures and colours, such as my signature 2d technique used for the stones and Harakekes, (stones are handmade by myself & resin is used to portray the rivers!!
This artwork is something very special !
