Sydney Life

Long time no see, I know, but I will be getting back to the Paintings A Week very soon.

Life in Sydney has swept me up with a vengence, and its been extremely busy getting paintings finished, framed and ready for the exhibition. Now all 40 paintings are hanging on the Gallery walls and ready and waiting....... mostly new ones from 2008, but a smattering of old favourites as well!!
If you don't make it to the opening, come along and take a look. Its on from 31st March to 19th April and there's a great coffee shop in the gallery to make it worth the trip!

Time to head Down Under

After a great year here in France, its only a week now to get the house packed up before we return to Sydney for 3 months. It will certainly be a different time, being back in the city after a small town in the French countryside; back to driving on the other side of the road, and reacquainting myself with the old cafe society way of life!

I'm very much looking forward to seeing all my family and friends again, will be preparing for my March exhibition, and hopefully introducing Peter to the joys of Sydney, as well as squeezing in a week or so in NZ.

I'm absolutely hope to be able to continue the Paintings each week - perhaps even really stretch myself, and capture some Sydney landscapes?!

Sète is a bustling port about 20 minutes away from us. It sits at the foot of Mont St Clair with the Mediterranean on one side and the Etang de Thau (an enclosed salt water lake) on the other.

Greek Dreams
Acrylic & Ink Painting

This painting is a sharp contrast to last week's! In the midst of a cold French winter, and the rare event of snow in the area, I wonder why my mind keeps drifting to the brilliant blue skies and warm water of Greece?!
