Greetings from Tasmania
Hi Guys,
I was going to send a picture I'd done over here, but haven't actually done any. However, have just had an interesting afternoon at Hobart Art Gallery , so here's a nice example of minimalist 20th century Australian art. I thought of putting it on upside down but that would have been too corny even for me.

Website Update - Not
As most of you know, I'm away for a month and haven't had time to update the website.
It looks like we have some good things coming up, with a planned 2 day workshop at Runswick Bay, the opportunity for a week's intensive painting at The Barn for those who can stand the pace, and maybe some more visits. Dates and times have yet to be confirmed.
See you all when I get back!

My first blog!
Wow I am now a blogger! thanks Rob your instructions are very clear - as you can see.
Our first life drawing session today at the Barn went very well and was well supported. Caroline is an excellent model and the two and a half hour session flew by. I really enjoyed getting back to drawing.

Geoff Hewitt Portrait Workshop
Once again an excellent session from Geoff, who gave us a clear and intro to portraiture before guiding our individual efforts. It was also good to be joined for the first time by members of the Lakeside group. Another first - I actually managed to produce something that looked like the person I was drawing. Here are some of the results:
Drama from Dee
Kate - Guess who?
Subtlety from Julia
Jan - Quizical
Kath - Not a self portrait
Les - Why me?

Northumbria University Gallery
3 painters are being exhibited until March 28th: Dale Atkinson, Albert Irvin, Norman Cornish in Paris. I wasn't so keen on Albert Irvin's abstract gouache work, but found Dale Atkinson interesting and disturbing, and Norman Cornish's Paris sketches full of immediacy and charm. Well worth a look if you get the chance.

Postcard from Portugal
Just experimenting with the art app on my new tablet. This is the view from my daughter's window. Not quite 'Eat your heart out, David Hockney.
