The picture above is the gorgeous Cottage, north of Sydney in the lovely community of Brooklyn, on the Hawkesbury River. We opened our exhibition there a couple of weekends ago and have welcomed many visitors (and enjoyed some really beautiful weather) on those days we’ve opened. We’re there until Sunday 2 July (weekends only), so if you have the opportunity, come on up! It’s an easy and really nice day out. I’d like to thank friends Jane and Pam – two ladies I met earlier this year in New Zealand – who came up from Wollongong on our first weekend to see the show, which was super nice of them! Also huge thanks to Kelli and the team of volunteers at The Cottage who have done so much to help us get organised there, and to make us feel very welcome.
Closer to home, the Australian Society of Miniature Art’s Annual Awards exhibition is on now in Willoughby, and one of my entries (Central Park, New York) has taken out a Commended award, which was quite a surprise!
Very soon I will be delivering a number of works to Katoomba for ‘Art in the Mountains’ at Gallery One88; St Ives for the Ku-ring-gai Art Society’s Annual Awards exhibition (paintings for which I am working on now); and Singleton for the Singleton Art Prize. It’s been a busy year - much busier than I had anticipated - and although there’s still much on the horizon, I plan to do some hibernating very soon!
