15.01.2022 A bit further down the track -Still life-ing with RT.. cray par with Mason's brush (don't think the brush choice was influenced by the venue...)

09.01.2022 Childhood; mother and child 'rough' commissioned by grandma circa 1967... heaven knows what happened to the finished masterpiece!

08.01.2022 I think this is from the same year as the Landscape '69?... sadly only a 5th prize

04.01.2022 This is an oil from 79 /80 called Emu Nightmaring. It was on of a trilogy which had an interesting life. One was stolen from the Elizabeth Art Prize, one lived in Oodnadatta at the invitation of Keith Aitkin, and this one still lives with me!

03.01.2022 "Intuitions" 2019 125 X 90 cm Acrylic on Canvas

01.01.2022 Ruth Tuck was a great teacher in many ways. She took us very seriously as artists. One of the things she got us to do was constantly enter into competitions and exhibitions, with many students winning many prizes at local national and international levels. (Although in my case it took nearly 50 years to really sink in) It certainly pushed one into the reality of putting one's work out in public, of taking oneself seriously as an artist, dealing with all kinds of feedback on ones art. Most of my winners disappeared a long time ago. This one is a first prize from the Royal Adelaide Show.
