You might notice the absence of the word ‘Happy’ in my heading. That’s because it’s been anything but a happy new year for so many. There was little celebration here in Sydney as 2020 ended and 2021 began – once again Covid is calling the shots.
And I don’t have much news. My work is still in a couple of online exhibitions (both there until 31 January): the Linden Postcard Show and the Biblio Art Prize (Blarney Books & Art).
Also online, from 15 January through to 28 February, is the Combined Art Societies of Sydney (CASS) ‘Art of Sydney’ Awards. I’ve submitted four pieces for that one. And for the first time, I have entered a few paintings in Sydney’s Royal Easter Show, but it’s quite possible that won’t be going ahead this year – everything is such an uncertainty again.
As I mentioned last month, I’m working towards a couple of exhibitions later in the year. The first will be at The Village Kitchen in Kurrajong, at the foot of the Blue Mountains, and the other at Marie-France in West Pymble, on Sydney’s north side. The painting above will be appearing in the latter. It’s from the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. More details for both these exhibitions are on my ‘Coming Up’ page.
Until next month.
