An Epiphany.

While I was tossing around at 2am last night I had an idea about making some new work. So today as well as wrestling with Leopard, my new version of iLife, photoshop CS4 and running out of downloading capacity on the 12th of the month (how was I to know that loading music back from my iPod to my computer would use it all)I've have taken up carpentry in a bid to outdo Joe the Plumber.
The results will be on show soon if I overcome working difficulties with Leopard, iPhoto, Photoshop CS4 and my longstanding trouble with understanding the workings of a camera.

Don't hold your breath. Relax and admire the picture of Pino below.

Yes I Know!

Revisiting 2007

 I'm still optimisitic about the resurrection hand balm. 2007. Acrylic on Canvas. 100cm x 100 cm 
Getting a new hard drive and losing some data and software does have some good outcomes. I have reloaded my images, refreshed my website and revisited the work I did for my exhibition in her high heels at Unplace Project in Brisbane last year. As I'm working with painting and geometry again this has been a good exercise.

This is my current favourite work from that series. I'm stil using the Aesop hand balm too.

 

Sunday arvo.

I am feeling very righteous as one should on Sunday.

I have just compiled 6 folios to send off to my favourite Sydney galleries in the hope that one of them might consider representing me. Fingers crossed.

We had lunch with our friends Chris and Brenda (writer and restaurateur) and Chris and I agreed that self promotion does not come easily and that we need an agent. 

Life without Photoshop

Reunited at Last

I've got my mac back! I now have regular scheduled backup and the luxury of an empty organised computer. That's looking on the bright side.

On the subject of things mac I waited with baited breath and crossed fingers for news of an Obama victory today.

November

Oh, November. The good things are that I can luxuriate in the perfume of gardenias and jasmin in my garden, and, the bad, that 4 months of sweaty summer are looming and I have to remove myself from the world of electronic communication to avoid being subjected to endless repeats of a horse race and images of leggless lasses stumbling around in unattractives hats and frocks. As you can see my mood has not lightened (haven't got my Mac back yet).
