Its is exciting I have been putting off doing a portrait of our ward Councillor Sue Bolton for about a year it was going to be a digital print maybe that will come too now – I wanted the essence and not the full active life of all her to do and doing list.  We are so lucky to have Sue as our ward Councillor. A big fan of her style of participatory democracy.

The gesso is down, the sketch done and a layer of white opaque water colour – its around 86 cms wide x 1100 cms  high. Adding colour tomorrow.

Fern will be presenting at  ‘Arts in the North’  This Saturday 20 June, 2.30 – 4.30 pm J-Studios, 50 Wheatsheaf Road, Glenroy

From the www.moreland.vic.gov.au website ‘If you are an artist or maker in the north of the Moreland municipality, or would like to develop an arts project there, come along for this informal networking event. There will be some short presentations from artists working in the North followed by an interactive session for creative to share their interests and hopefully form some future working partnerships!’

Be great to see you there.

Had a little break family and friends visiting – got a moment this arvo – work in progress

Hopefully the gallery will be fully functionable in a few weeks. And at present working out catagories.
