Commentaries
It is the intent, of these commentaries, to give an insight into the thinking behind many of the works in this site. I have also included my thoughts on subjects that may be of interest.
These commentaries will be published from time to time.
Mornington Art 2010
Saturday, 23 January 2010 It has been a few years since I have attended an art show run by a Rotary club, the last one I recall was the Camberwell Rotary Art Show (few years ago). I enjoy seeing the variety of styles and mediums at these exhibitions. It is also good to see the works of new artists who are bravely showing their works to the public. A colleague and I spent an couple of hours browsing the submissions at this year's event.

Above the Mantle
Monday, 29 June 2009 Above the Mantle in Frankston (Victoria, Australia) is a place you can go as an artist to get great advice and most importantly not feel embarrassed for asking questions because, as many of us know, framing can make or break a work and definitely makes a difference as to the value and marketability.
