Collage Workshops in Alphington July 29-30, 2017
Alphington Open Studios Art Exhibition
We are posting leaflets into letterboxes about our forthcoming open studio event and having such a great time admiring all the Spring gardens as well as some quirky letterboxes. Keep the dates in mind and invite a friend for a wander from street to street or even a drive. It’s actually quite a small event 7 studios open but 10 Artists showing their work and available for a chat. We will be ready rain hail or shine.
He was always going to be a bee in Spring.
My baby grandson’s third of twelve digital collages. He was always going to be a bee this month of September which is Spring in Melbourne. He has been a superhero, an olympic swimmer and now a bee. Digital imaging, photography, collage and lots of love.
Painting redo plus two more loves.
Here is a sweet photo of me holding my 9 week old Grandson Mason’s hand. I thought it was very touching so I decided to make a similar one for another love of mine, my beautiful Kelpie Ninna. As my Son is interstate he was really touched by both of these images as he adores his dog and is still getting to know his nephew.
Another love. Art. I recently pulled out all the small boards and canvases I could find and decided to paint some objects. The one below has obliterated the previous post with the green glass as I felt that one photographed better than seeing it in life so I started again. I just worked on it again and am still thinking about it. Maybe a work in progress.
Rio Olympics baby swimmer.
This is month 2 of Mason’s life. So far he has been a flying superhero and now he is an Olympic Swimmer. 10 more months (one per month) of silly, surreal images to create. Photographs and digital work assembled on photoshop.
Silly surreal digital baby image.
My beautiful Grandson Mason is 14 days old today. I am including him in some of my art. I made a selection of announcement cards from vintage found greeting cards e.g. One month old, Did I tell you my name yet?, I need cuddles. I decided to do a silly funny digital with Mason as the star – one a month for his first twelve months. See the superhero as number one.
Paintbrushes needed for Northern Territory.
This would be for Australia only as we have just three weeks to collect and deliver them.
Can you help out a remote community in the Northern Territory?
Paintbrushes old and new needed
Gurindji Project Paintbrushes.
The Gurindji people live in the remote Northern Territory town , called Kalkaringi, 800 kms south west of Darwin, nearest biggest town is Katherine 400 kms away.
A converted small power station was refurbished to become an Art Space from the proceeds of selling the book “From Little Things Big Things Grow” which is the story based on their Freedom Walk 50 years ago this August. Penny Smith an Art teacher from Queensland went to help set the Art Space up five years ago and is still there. A call has gone out for paintbrushes, new or used. My friend Galia will be travelling there on 5th August to deliver them.
This is a very small community of 600 people with very few facilities/materials and or things to do. Well done Penny Smith you are amazing.
Delivery of Brushes
I am happy to receive them here in Alphington (annewarrenart@gmail.com) for address. Another drop off point is Cambridge Studio Gallery in Cambridge Street Collingwood. You can look their Gallery hours up and deliver there if it suits better.
Timeline: Just three weeks. Must pass them on by Monday 25th July.
Thankyou and happy hunting – Anne Warren
