Pastel on Colourfix paper – 70cm x 50cm A walk on the beach on a warm summer morning at about 6.00 a.m. revealed these amazing clouds and colours. There was absolutely not another soul around, so I had the opportunity to sit undisturbed and make colour notes as well as take a few photos for later reference. Note: for George Sanderson – your birds have migrated!!!!!

Charcoal on textured pastel paper – 50cm x 35cm The reference for this charcoal drawing was a very old and very small black & white photo taken on one of those old Box Brownie cameras!!!! The ‘binder’ operator is a friend’s grandfather and the property where this harvest is taking place is called ‘Fairlight’, at Milbrulong in New South Wales. I did this drawing in 1992 and it won a major award at the Royal Melbourne Show. (Another version of this drawing ended up in Washington).

“He will call Butterfly from the distance / I without answering / Stay hidden / A little to tease him, / A little as to not die. / At the first meeting, / And then a little troubled / He will call, he will call / “Little one, dear wife / Blossom of orange”“ ~ Puccini “Madame Butterfly” model, dancer Cori Kolasinski, daughter of an artist friend. Charcoal on Mylar drafting film, 24×20.” This is a “double sided” drawing, I drew on both sides of the translucent Mylar, and it will be hung in a frame between 2 sheets of glass. The piece is meant to be hung near a picture window in the gallery space, with daylight shining through the window during the day, and with spot lights after dark. There will be room behind the piece so that viewers will be able to view the work from either side. Kind of a quick loose drawing, because I wanted to show movement. I used the progressive setting on my camera to capture movement – I have hundreds of usable photos from the shoot. The res was a bit lower, but the captures were fairly clear. I’ll definitely draw more from this shoot at a later date. The voluminous skirt Cori wore during the shoot appeared lit from within in the north light of the studio as she did pirouettes and arabesques. I believe this will provide drama with light showing through as the piece hangs in the gallery. The main purpose was to have a piece that would be an example of the nature of my chosen surface. I also wanted to include a dancer in my “muse” series, what better theme than a dance version of the well known Puccini opera, “Madame Butterfly?” Artistic video with music from the opera.

Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) – 70cm x 50cm There are many of these magnificent River Red Gum trees in the area of the Goulburn River, near Seymour, Victoria. This painting was one of the first to sell at my solo exhibition (“My Easel and Eye”) a few years ago. The late evening is my favourite time of day for artwork. The colours become more vibrant and intense at this time of day. Featured in The Best of Group – Oct 2009
