23.01.2022 'Interior' captures a moment of children at play at this time in history, reflecting the physical interior that they have been confined to because of the pandemic as well as the interior life they cultivate in these troubling times. Surrounded by a world of things they effortlessly use these as props of the imagination creating narratives for new spaces and time. 'Interior' by Victoria Reichelt was a finalist in the 2020 Portia Geach Memorial Award at @shervingallery and will be on display at Tweed Regional Gallery as part of her survey exhibition 'Archive' opening Friday 4 December. @victoria_reichelt @this_is_no_fantasy @janmurphygallery #thweedregionalgallery #thetweed #painting

20.01.2022 #WIP by @debrajoycestudio for this month's Poppies challenge. This month, our still life challenge is inspired by Margaret Olley’s painting ‘Poppies and peeled orange’, 2011. In this challenge we have focused on Olley’s love of painting flowers in this instance the beautiful colour and structure of poppies. We hope you enjoy this months’ still life challenge and we look forward to seeing your responses in art. Share them with us via #unlockingmargaretshouse
