While the travelling Queensland Arts Council exhibition "Art Shoes" is in town, local artists and potters were invited to produce works on the Art Shoes theme to be displayed locally alongside it.
This is my contribution, entitled "Shoe Divas":
Our annual local visual arts festival, the Brigalow Arts Festival, finished on Friday. The Opening Night was last Monday.
These are the two paintings I exhibited:
"A Twilight Flight of Fancy", mixed media on canvas.
"Self Portrait 2007", acrylic on canvas.
Today I'm taking the plunge - I'm showing you one of my paintings.
"Childhood Memory Tree" was exhibited locally in March.
My mother has always kept a wonderful garden. In this painting you can see some of the flora which made up my childhood, both in our garden and on our farm, in south east Queensland: guava, honeysuckle, frangipani, scotch thistle, pomegranate, dandelion, hibiscus, buttercup, and plumbago - along with a Wanderer (Monarch) butterfly, and a Willy Wagtail. That's me in the apron, with my younger sister.
"Childhood Memory Tree" is in acrylic on ready-to-hang 45 cm (about 18") square canvas, but is now in my sister's private collection!
