' From Little Things....


'From Little Things...'

This painting  inspired by the children's voices of Zillmere State School,

Queensland, singing their version of the Kev Carmody /Paul Kelly song

way back in 2003.

...if the link doesn't work just google 'Zillmere, from little things song'....

 I defy you to listen to this and to be able to get the tune out of your head!

Hart Art Show 2015


The Hart Art Show


I have two large and two small works in this wonderful biennial local Art Show

opening on Thursday night.

I have a soft spot for this Exhibition because way back in the inaugural Show

in August 2011,  I was given  an award for this painting 

from my 'Travels with my Paintbrush' Series....

...and another little painting awarded in 2013 .

This show has a very happy vibe ,

a contemporary and diverse collection of paintings  and prints,

and I love that it's part of the visual art program for students.

'In 100 years from now it will not matter what size house you lived in, 

the car you drove or the amount of money you had in the bank.

What will matter is that you were important in the life of a child, 

                                 ...... your child.'
