Have been painting madly the last couple of days to get ready for CHICK CHICK BOOM at Joshua Levi Galleries in Woollongabba opening on Sept 3 7pm. Josh has been so great, really enthusiastic about my work and knows how to plug a show. I am still working with my hybrids, I am trying to incorporate diff variations and more of a figurative look but as Lorraine Pilgrim said to me once- take the idea and tell the story one little piece at a time. The dogs are telling a story, my poor children are my muses, while reminincing on my own childhood riding around Roma on our bikes, they are always being asked to just stand there or can you ride around the yard so i can watch your face!!! The paintings I am working on now will head to Josh and to Frances Keevil-another nuturing soul who has been great. I am having a solo at the Sydney Art Fair, so trying to capture something a little different than the Melbourne one. I think it will be a diff audience and ofcourse I am trying constantly to evolve my subject and techniques. Come a long way since the first hybrid this time last year!!
Only 5 weeks to go and then off to Thailand for an artist residency in Chang Mai- very exciting even though I haven't really contemplated what i will work on over there. should be fun, the whole family is heading over with me for 5 weeks. Yahoo
