David LeMay, Chris Fletcher and I spent last weekend in
Acland with our curator Beth Jackson, doing some work for our Tainted
Landscapes exhibition next January. Much fun was had by all.
Beth, Glen Beutel,
Dave, Chris and I.
I’m taking a photo of
Fletcher drawing me painting.
Halo around the full
moon probably caused by mine dust. Glen complained about the noise on Friday
night and things were a lot quieter on Saturday.
One of Dave’s paintings from the weekend –
Most of my work from the weekend is preliminary
underpainting and drawing. I was taken by the proximity of the moon to Mars and
Antares (‘Rival of Mars’ – so called because it’s the second reddest object in
the night sky) on Friday night. Might leave this one as is. An ant’s eye view
of Acland.
