‘Competitions & construction’
I have been enjoying keeping busy working on separate pieces for a couple of Competitions coming up in Sydney & for the last 3 weekends I’ve been showing some pieces at the Samford & surrounds Art Trail & Open Studios open from 10am until 4pm each Saturday & Sunday for 4 weeks.
Busy, Busy, Busy…..
06/04/2019 JUDGING DAY
With many thanks to Ali & Charlotte, a long drive to Kingaroy to where judging was to be held on the 6th April at the art gallery. What a wonderful surprise to find that I was awarded first prize from a pool of 11 participants. This is the largest prize I have ever won $7000.00 – Thank-You Kingaroy Council & art gallery.
$10000 Kingaroy sculpture prize – & the winner is – Evancee.
$10000 Biennial Kingaroy Sculpture Prize
I am all ready to go this weekend – taking Evancee up to Kingaroy – all of my positive vibes are travelling too. Even though it’s meant to be raining over the weekend that’s not dampening the spirits.
GO “EVANCEE”
Rain at last.
Finally after all of this sweltering heat, we get some relief – RAIN & COOLER WEATHER. The grass has shot up again, the trees & plants look so much happier. Thank-You we are all at peace.
“AUTUMN” – The calendar says we are in Autumn but the weather is telling another story. When is it going to start cooling down?
Competition Year
This is the year where my wire art is going to be found in a huge way – I can just feel it. All of my Galleries & comps are all lined up & waiting for the dates.
You know when you have ‘that’ feeling well I have it in a big way – this year is going to be my year! 2019 here I come.
Water Water & more Water.
Wow if we are not flooding we could be in drought & if we are none of these we could be on fire in a wind storm, hurricane, typhoon or freezing over. What is happening to our Mother earth – have we pushed her to the edge & now is rebelling!
I must say I’m able to work more comfortably with the rain that we are having – the heat was just too oppressive. – cool weather produces cool sculptures.
Hot Hot & Hotter.
Like the witch in Wizard of Oz said – ‘I’m meltinnggg’. This heat is making it hard for me to do any of my larger Sculptures that are out on the deck but am stocking up on some smaller pieces that I can work on in the air-conditioning. My legs are still a bit wobbly but no effect on my sculptures. I am finished my beautiful girl ‘Evancee’ & am now going to be working on a mate for her – does anyone have any tips for a name?
All comps for 2019 registered & now just waiting for the dates to roll around – this is my year!
Wobbly Legs
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later, due to all this heat & me just doing too much yes my M.S has heightened my pain & walking is a bit of a challenge also. Thank goodness I am still able to do my Sculptures, at the moment I am working on a Goanna.
I have booked in all of the up & coming Competitions I will be entering throughout the year – * MARCH – 10000 Biennial Kingaroy Sculpture Prize 2019 being held at the Kingaroy Reginal Art Gallery. * MAY – Moreton Bay Region Art Awards 2019 being held at the Strathpine Community Center. * JUNE – Art Trail from the 1st June until the 23rd June. * AUGUST – The EKKA.
There will be an exhibition that I am planning on holding which will be held later in the year TBA. So, lets embrace the year ahead & enjoy all that is good.
