In bed before 2am? Is it possible?

I’VE FINISHED!

You don’t know how good it is too be able to say that!

2 paintings delivered to the Tanks Art Centre with almost half an hour to spare. Mind you, I had to skip Uni today, had no weekend, and didn’t even get any photos of the Tree Loppers who took out the 4 huge coconut palms on our fenceline today. I’m not even going to mention the evil tap that spouted water all over the insides of my kitchen cupboards….

Even though one painting had to be substituted with an old one (due to airbrushing disaster last week), I’m kinda glad. I now have one “Representational” piece, and one “Contemporary” piece in the same exhibition. Interesting to see the results. Opening night Friday, will let you know how it goes.

My eyes have given up focusing. Must be because the bags underneath them are so HUGE. I’ll report back on the “Painting with Light” excursion tomorrow - it was wonderful. And I promise to catch up with all your lovely blogs. Thanks again for all your kind comments - just the motivation I need!

“Found My Bliss”    Watercolour on Illustration Board

(not a very good image of the painting I’m sorry, scanner was having an ”off” day.  Even though you may not be able to see them, I can assure you there are thousands of tiny brushstrokes, each one contributing to my current state of blindness….

    Wow! No wonder you are going blind!. What a fabulous painting! I had to look twice to believe it wasn’t a photo.

    Hey Cindy - what an awesome painting, the detail is unbelievable. I am still laughing at the story of the airbrush because I have the image in my head of it all happening and how you coped with it all. Sorry but it did brighten my day. Thanks for the card and your kind words. It has been wonderful to have a friend like you.

    Wow! The detail is unbelievable. You must have heaps of patience and a steady hand. The feathers are sooo good.
    Thank you for finding the time to visit my blog. Now pack your “bags” and take them to bed.
    Wish I could be there for opening night.

    I forgot to mention that the picture you liked on my blog with us standing in front of a screaming red wall was orchestrated by my artistic daughter. She yelled at us, “Hey look at that wall, I must get a picture.” While we all walk past it without seeing it. You artistic people just have the eye for that sort of thing. I love looking at the results. (And try myself sometimes) Hope this makes sense. Yoohoo I’m off work for 4 days. Look out here come some more posts.

    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for all your kind words, I’m still chasing my tail with everything that needs to be done.

    Doda, yes I think glasses are required for intensive painting sessions now!

    Margie, yes, laugh away! That’s my average day. Hope you’re all ok way out West.

    Diane, You have been to AMAZING places on this planet - lucky, lucky lucky! 4 days off, even luckier! Looking forward to new posts.

    Kim, this is an exhibition run by the Cairns Art Society, so not Uni related. Another one next Friday at the Regional Gallery - why I have no spare time!

    On to the next post!

    Hi Cindy - Gil Grissom watch out! Beautiful photos especially of the moon. It certainly has been a busy time for you.

    Hey Margie,

    I can’t wait for uni to be O V E R !

    I have a heap of photos from the past week, but no tie to upload or write about them.

    Soon soon.

    Cheers

    Cindy
