23.01.2022 Friday Favourites. Room enough to kick a football (yes its Grand Final holiday in Victoria). This is Horace Trenery's 'Hawker, Flinders Ranges' 1930. His reduction of form to colour is a hallmark of his work. I love it. #horacetrennery #artgallery #landscape #agnsw

22.01.2022 On a clear day, you can see forever/The quiet city.

21.01.2022 If I could just get people to stop moving their cars... 'Hawthorn Street in Winter' might be finished sometime soon.

19.01.2022 Rooftop painting of Melbourne from Kew during second Melbourne lockdown. Alexandra Sasse.

17.01.2022 Feeling non-essential? Artists struggle with that a lot of the time. Here's why you're important. https://mailchi.mp/alex/non-essential-youre-not-unimportant 'The deserted street'. Oil on canvas.

16.01.2022 Vermeer - an eternal stillness that is never dull. Image: Johannes Vermeer, The Concert, 1663-1666. Oil on canvas. Stolen in 1990.

15.01.2022 Friday Favourites: The exquisitely evocative work of Vilhelm Hammershoi. The master of nothing happening, strangely quiet worlds where everything is in suspense, or out of view. A bit like ours. 'Landscape: View of Fortunen' 1901. #lockdownart #landscapepainting #melbournelockdown

14.01.2022 If, like me, you need some air, visit this beautiful online exhibition 'Among the Trees' Hayward Gallery, London. This work is by Korean artist Myoung Ho Lee. #lockdownart #treeart #artgallery

07.01.2022 The deserted street (No. 2). Hope to see you busy again soon our beautiful Springtime Melbourne. #lockdownpainting #springishere #artgallery #melbournelockdown

06.01.2022 Now we are allowed OUT but I can't tear myself away from my magnificent citrus tree. Really should do the shopping!

05.01.2022 The Window. Antonio Lopez Garcia. 1966. A little piece of melancholic longing - seems appropriate.

04.01.2022 Congratulations Mark Dober! Mark's exhibition with me has been rescheduled to February 2021, due to lockdown. Looking forward to a superb exhibition with more beautiful work like this.

03.01.2022 Excited to announce our first exhibition is scheduled for September. More info soon.

02.01.2022 Four new reasons to stay indoors. Hooray for Sainsbury's bookshop. Always a new treasure to find.

01.01.2022 I had the smallest of walk on roles in the life of the legend who was Dean Jones. I painted his portrait for the Melbourne Cricket Club’s Team of the Century group portrait in 2012. He came to sit for me here in Kew in the rooms which are now the gallery. I had five cricket legends come to sit for the portrait, (the other 7 to be in the group portrait were deceased and had to be invented from photographs). Dean was the least formal of all of them. We hadn’t met before. He en...tered the studio, glanced around and looked me up and down. 'Why did they pick you?' he asked. I looked back at him thinking ‘another bloody man’ and said ‘Not many people can do this’. He seemed to like that and perhaps it was a test. We got on fine from then on. He sat brilliantly, suggested a better and less formal pose (which we adopted - foot up and lying across thigh) and told me I could keep his cricket whites he had posed in which I still have. At the unveiling of the portrait; a kiss and a comment ‘You’ve done us proud!’ It is the smallest of incidents, but a happy memory for me. We have lost a legend. #DeanJones See more
