Small World

My last post was about an image I produced at an illustration workshop I did some time ago. On the weekend I bumped into the artist with whom I did the workshop, what a lovely coincidence!

You may recognise him from the newspapers and telly as the only WA artist left in the running to win the $50,000 Archibald Prize. (Finalists were announced just recently.)

It’s South Perth Artist Peter Kendall (whose book “A sausage went for a walk” still gives me a giggle).

To see some newspaper photos of his massive portrait of boxer Danny Green, click here. Took him 3 long months he said.

Best of luck Peter!

    That must have given you a buz, bumping into him. I saw his painting in the paper. The skin textures looks terrific.

    Hey Diane, I hope he wins! The inside goss is that there will be no Mundine vs Green fight.

    I visited Miss Howard’s blog and website – such a dynamic creative soul! I loved those ceramic(?) handbag collections.

    Cheers,

    Cindy
