For the last 12 months I have been working towards an exhibition of landscape paintings based on 2 periods of residency on the dramatic king island.
In September of this year opening on September 13 I am exhibiting in Gallery 1 at tacit Contemporary Art in Abbotsford Melbourne. My exhibition will feature large oil paintings on canvas and a series of smaller works based on the sketchbooks and gouache drawings done while I was a resident on the island and as a result of my residency with the King island Cultural Centre. On June 29 I return to the island for a three month period during which time I will be painting and working on a project with other island artists called Painting the Island. The idea is to work Alla Prima focusing on different landscapes of the island and images of island life. we will work in both oil, gouache and acrylic on what supports we have at hand with the aim of a culminating final exhibition. I am really interested in this documentation of a remote and beautiful landscape and will also be drawing daily posting my own project of 100 days on the island. Keep looking at this blog of latest news for updates on the progress and discoveries involved in each of these projects.

Lots of drawing has been happening. The filigreed patterning of tea tree continues to fascinate me and have been making lots of studies in gouache and ink and watercolour I am very much looking forward to getting out the big canvases at home. Only a week left here on the island and it will be with regret we leave this stunning island and it's time out feel.
Cape Wickham today was splendid with an astounding view of the lighthouse and coast from the newly constructed links Golf Course. It was windy but sunny so was able to do some sketchbook drawing. Lots of preparation for my July workshop in Tathra From Sketchbook to finished painting, July 4/5

My residency on the magnificent King island is into the 4th week now and much drawing on site is happening and being translated into larger pastels and gouache paintings.
The workshops in mark making with ink from hand made implements of bone and local reeds and tussocks continues as do pastel and mixed media workshops held at various venues around the island.
I am holding a workshop in my Tathra studio when I return inspired by my work here and the advantages of working on site as a basis for works finished in the studio. This will be on Sat/Sun 4/5 July at a cost of $200 for the 2 days with morning tea and lunch provided both days. It will be an experience to draw the beautiful Tathra coast and translate the sketchbook drawings into a finished pastel. The workshop is called From Sketchbook to Finished Pastel
The images here are of completed pastel drawings 50x70cm worked on site in the sandunes at yellow Rock King island and sketchbook entries drawn with pen and watercolour wash on site.
