Another Artist advice to the young

When I gave a class for the younger artist during my solo exhibition in Glenelg I was impressed with their single minded approach. THey did not want to listen to me rabbiting but got stuck in painting their Herbie the black cat. https://channel.louisiana.dk/video/karin-mamma-andersson-advice-young

Doug Moran entry 2019

Painters in the Vines

Looking forward to giving some painting classes to dedicated wine drinkers like myself down in McLaren Vale. Looks like a new start date in November for the wine and art experience.

Howard Hodgkin

Characters of the Fleurieu Exhibition 2018

My painting of Ian Adam of Dabblebrook Wines is hanging at the Lake Breeze winery in Langhorn Creek. Worth a visit as there are 3 venues showing a fine range of portraiture. Dabblebrook Wines is a favorite of ours in the McLaren Vale region and I would recommend a visit if you like your vino.
