23.01.2022 The short hairy guy on site is still looking for his hammer, he put it down somewhere! #studio #renovation #tradies

23.01.2022 A small 12ft tribal piece on 4 panels as I didn’t have a studio but needed to paint ...someone will be able to fit it in? #tribal #contemporaryart #australianart #nature #artlovers #coolhunter @richardallenartist

23.01.2022 What happens when I morph two works to make something new and small.... 1.8mx3.6m #australianart #regeneration #sepia #abstractart #bushfires @richardallenartist

22.01.2022 As it gets colder the work subconsciously seems to get more tropical #abstractart #australianlandscape #pinkandgreen @richardallenartist

22.01.2022 Armchair travel diary #1 Dreaming of exotic locales to go with the family this lockdown season, I still hanker for our old pool house. Let’s celebrate the little details of the place we call home and our favourite corner of it. #traveler #armchairtravel #noplacelikehome #myislandparadise #poolside

21.01.2022 Blue or water seems the direction for the next show in March, but where to store it without a stockroom! 1st world problem #blueandwhiteforever #australianart @richardallenartist

20.01.2022 Rebirth of some old doors from the Queen Victoria Building into the new studio #studio #artist #reuse #qvb #carpentry

17.01.2022 Little Leopoldo watching over #nature #wwf #sheldrickwildlifetrust #wildlife #stayhome

16.01.2022 Repurposing the fire-pit for the duration! Anyone need three tonnes of English spinach, there is so much in one bloody punnet. Popeye at 55! #repurpose #washyourbloodyhands #stayhome #gardening

16.01.2022 Seems silly not to sit quietly and watch the water run down the chains! Mesmerising

16.01.2022 Finally burning the old Flame tree stump outside the studio. Loving the cold starry night and the smoke snaking through the last of the red foliage, with opera in the background Calls for a glass of red #nature #light #smokey

15.01.2022 Bluebird deconstructed #artist #australianart #abstractart #birds #nature @richardallenartist

14.01.2022 Can’t say my studio helpers are being exactly helpful on this freezing day in the studio. Some of us actually work for a living! #studio #dogsofaustralia

13.01.2022 Hi All, I heard a good friend of the ICU doctor who died yesterday in the States , say he had to treat people for several days without a mask because there weren’t enough! If I can save ONE medical mask for those here who might really need it to tend our sick by looking a bit of a dag, then bring it on! It’s not about you. #corona #msf #homemade #maskup #getoveryourself

12.01.2022 No idea where this came from but enjoying the first day in the studio since the bushfires! The charcoal seems prosaic now. Loosely based on tribal markings and body painting but also thinking there are many parallels from the covered firefighters to the millions of faceless people not getting heard of during covid . #tribal #charcoaldrawing #studio #australianart #interiordesign #nswfires #covid_19

12.01.2022 Well.....if I HAVE to stay home! Somehow autumn colour seems more autumnal this year or am I just taking the time to notice it. Enjoy it

09.01.2022 The street find chandelier from Paddo and fireplace are starting to make the new studio feel quirky enough to start painting in .... well paint the walls anyway! #studio #chandelier #gallery @richardallenartist

09.01.2022 Bit of detail from a piece I am working on.... think it might be called Humpback for some reason #whale #conservation #migration #blue #blueandwhite #contemporaryart #australianart @richardallenartist

08.01.2022 Still life with orchid .

08.01.2022 The Black sheep of the Family

08.01.2022 A wild Saturday night in our house.... drink anyone?

08.01.2022 Lest we forget A quiet Anzac Day night #anzacday #fire #home

07.01.2022 Reflecting on the Nile in the studio, might as well put this time to good use

05.01.2022 Can’t help myself this morning. While all around the house machinery and men are removing all the burnt houses a little early sojourn down the burnt dodgy steps to our little beach for the first bracing swim of summer( where did it go). I came across foot and tail prints from Mr and Mrs Roo on the beach( full moon low tide) and regrowth everywhere . Heartening and so beautiful to have it all to myself. Onward and upward .... it was essential work promise #regrowth #resillience #nswbushfires #southcoastnsw

05.01.2022 Exploring the balance of light and dark in oneself is always cathartic I find. Painting ones shell allows such a journey! Give it a go #painting #selfportrait #tribal #selfcare

05.01.2022 And so we begin the transformation of The Eliza Doolittle that is my studio. As the fashion is black sheds, does black plastic work? And now the roof is off, thinking a pool here might be more productive anyway! Do love a project #home builder #conversions #blacksheds #cabinporn

02.01.2022 Influences that I don’t even see come from anywhere #studio #abstractart #australianart #haveago #inspiration #blackandwhite @richardallenartist

02.01.2022 Now seeing this looking over at the Blue Mountains from the Highlands , I get why they are so named. Love living down the bottom of this planet. #bluemountains #bonfires #southernhighlands #nature

02.01.2022 Social distancing.... remember to look up and say hello as you pass, maybe you are the only person they have spoken to all day #socialdistancing #kindness #artwithheart #sculpture #lovework

01.01.2022 Avoiding the studio, so thought I would paint the new gates.... hope it doesn’t wash off #isolationcreation

01.01.2022 Last weeks trip back up the mountain from Rosedale to Braidwood was so inspiring and gobsnackingly beautiful- took me ages to get home and you wouldn’t want to be the car behind me! This is what the future holds . Do yourself a favour when you can and see it! #regrowth #regeneration #nswfires #braidwood #nature #drive #bush
