Hiding in the Agapanthus

This new painting, "Hiding in the Agapanthus", 30cm square, acrylic on chunky gallery wrapped canvas, is available directly from me for $260.

Painted in my 'new' style, this work is from a photo I took on our recent trip to South Africa for my brother's wedding. Actually, we took about 900 photos, so there are plenty of new subjects on the horizon!

Look what I painted for Careflight!

The Grammar Art Show is on!

This is my completed triptych - called Ruthven I, II and III.

It's being exhibited at the Toowoomba Grammar Art Show right now, for $780.

It measures (from memory!) about 75cm square.

I was happy with the finished product, but the canvases have been hung in a staggered way at the show - it's a shame they were not hung straight as I intended.

These two paintings sold at the opening last night:

On the Beach 30 x 30cm

In the water, 30 x 30cm

And these are still available for $260 each:

And Kym Breeze will be opening the studio tomorrow for the first time in a while. Many of my paintings are on display at Lucy Victoria florist, 69 Herries Street, but there's plenty of Kym's work in the studio and my handbags are also available there tomorrow. It's been lovely to catch up with Nic Hohn again this weekend, and of course, my mind is now in overdrive again with dreams of the things I need to accomplish with my art. Exciting, as usual!

Here we are, Kym, Nic and Me!

Working on my TGS entries

This is the canvas sketch for 3 of my 8 paintings that will be displayed at the Toowoomba Grammar Art Show on 28-30 March. I've nearly finished these, actually, and will post pics when they're done. Can you tell what the subject is?

New Things on their way

This is a photo I love from my dear friend Annette's wedding on Sunday.

My husband's away, my site's playing up, I'm incredibly tired and my head is still so full of ideas! Please stay tuned as http://www.annabartlett.com/ and http://www.shinyhappyart.com/ come to fruition in the very near future!

We're all in this together

This painting called "We're all in this together" was recently auctioned for charity and fetched $1650. It was great fun to create and marks a return to unashamedly bright colour and detail.
