Latest digital artwork
This work is almost finished. I am loving making digital images these days. I can now make a complete image on Photoshop, but I still have a lot to learn. cx

Adam Anderson
My friend Adam Anderson is a multi-talented artist. As well as painting and drawing he is becoming known for video production and his very interesting performances.
His works explore ideas relating to identity, gender, sexuality and a great deal more. Adam's work, sometimes disturbing, opens a dialogue that is rooted deeply in our sense of self.
Adam is currently in his final year of a visual arts degree at Griffith University, Southbank.
Today I took a series of photos of Adam, as I have done several times over the last three years. As a model I find him to be patient, co-operative and kind. ...and fun to work with.!
Attached is one of the beautiful photos that came out of the photo shoot.

This is 'Big Sky', an acrylic collage on canvas, 150cm sq. It is one of four artworks that I produced for WBHD 2. Two of the four works were sent to the beautiful Unsettled Gallery in Las Cruces, New Mexico...(one of which was sold)...please see previous post.
Enquiries about the 'Big Sky' artwork can be made to me or to the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery. cx

WBHD opening
The WBHD opening was at BRAG last Saturday morning at 10am, in order to link up with our Las Cruces, New Mexico counterparts.
Trudie, Jenny and their gallery assistants had the space beautifully set out. There was a good turnout of appreciative artlovers who enjoyed the delicious appetisers and the live music while they perused the artworks. Our Skype link up failed for the opening speeches, but mysteriously became operative at a later stage.
I had the chance to talk via Skype to the lovely lady who purchased my work, 'Cane Cutter's Moon' seen below.
This work was my favourite of the four I have on show. It is an acrylic collage on canvas. It was inspired by memories of the night-time cane fires that were once so prevalent around Bundaberg. Smoke haze and cane 'trash' would fill the air - the thick, dusty smell of the burn invading our senses. Orchestration was conducted to the sharp snaps and cursing crackles of the ravaging blood red and gold flames that whipped themselves into a frenzy, desperately penetrating the big sky. Trying to hold on.
But to no avail, the performance was soon over. Trash eventually falling to the ground, arranging itself into a fragile black veil that encompassed all.
These days, the cane is mostly cut green.
