ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
During February 2020, just before covid 19 turned our worlds upside down, I was the artist in residence at Burnside Council. The image below captures me painting “Late Summer Gum Blossom“.
These three works were prepared during my artist residency, up to the point of applying oil paint. I am painting the magnolia little gem portrait in oil first up. Everyone loved the lillypilly especially after the magenta berries were coloured, it seems to ignite something in people’s memories about childhood, or bush tucker, and other fond recollections. The roses seem to be a favourite also. I wanted to share and demonstrate my process whilst I was there, how I get to the point of applying oil paint, but mostly about what happens when I paint in oil.
