Hi, Welcome to this final news letter for 2003. This last quarter of the
year is always a busy time for me. Everything seems to center around my annual
major exhibition in mid November at McGrath's Art Gallery, Sydney. Most of
the paintings are all but finished now, but I like to have a month up my sleeve
to look over everything and make final adjustments.
A trip into the Simpson Desert in the center of Australia this August was incredibly inspiring if somewhat frustrating. The theme for the exhibition I am currently working on is "By the Water" and as much as I would like to get started on a series of desert paintings, trying to weave them into this exhibition is a little difficult, given that the water we carried in drums was the only water we saw for two weeks! ...Well, maybe I can sneak just a couple of desert paintings in. Happy Painting,

TASMANIAN WORKSHOP FULLY BOOKED
CLIFTON WORKSHOP Clifton was a busy 3 day workshop concentrating on watercolor and mixed media. The venue was a beautiful old timber hall with plenty of room and great light.
Adrianne's historic old renovated convent provided excellent accommodation and evening meals were, as always, great fun at the different local pubs.
