It has been some time since I blogged, there has been so much happeing in my City and I have gone through a wide range of emontions. I thought is best to be in a more stable place before I shared with you.
Friday the 7th Of Jan 2011 My Exhibition Simply Tropical opened, there were lots of friends and supporters there and it was great. The art work was well received and I felt very positive about the show being a success.
Monday the 10th Of Jan 2011 our City was hit with a freak of nature that flooded and damaged parts of the city and sadly took the lives of some of our people. Everyone was in shock, everyone was affected in some way, it got worse this storm water raged into the towns below the Toowoomba range and created havoc, we are all still realing from this, recovery in these towns will take a long time, some may never recover. Toowoomba City is still showing signs of destruction as you drive around there is still alot of cleaning up to be done.
While the Gallery where my art is was spared from flooding the atmosphere that remains in the City are not one of "shopping' for art. So it has been quiet, and understandably so.
Saturday the 22nd Of Jan I was lucky enough to have a sotry and some photo's in our local paper, we are hoping that during the last week of the Exhibition people may want to come out take a look and enjoy some brightness after all we have all been through...
The Gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday 10 am till 2 pm...My show comes down on
Friday the 27th at 2pm and then I take it out to Texas Queensland for 6 weeks, so people come on down take a look and enjoy, remember 10% of sales go to the local Grantham Flood appeal...
I will down there today Sunday the 23rd from 11 am until 1 pm, so come say hi...
Enjoy the images above as I enjoyed painting them all and I am happy to say we have had sales of paintings, plates and vases. Thank you to those that have supported me in this, it is my business and one I aim to build on by doing classess, These will hopfully be starting at the end of Feb 2011 so watch this space.
Cheers all take care and keep creating from the heart, xx
