Screenprinting - the next idea

My friend, Belinda, and I had a great day at Thea Samios' screenprinting workshop a couple of weeks ago! I've now done a few simple prints at home, and Thea and I have plans to work together on a few new projects. Watch this space! I also met the lovely and talented Angela from Cowboys and Cupcakes. A great way to spend the day, and Bin and I were able to talk about marketing and babies like we used to!

Art Show for St Jude's

Last Friday I was a feature artist at a luncheon supporting St Jude's School in Tanzania (http://www.schoolofstjude.co.tz/). It was a lovely day with artists Karen Canning, Coralee McCarthy and myself displaying our work in the gorgeous home of Liz Wagner.
We all sold well and the event raised over $6K for the school. A terrific result!

Fundraising for Tanzania

I have been invited to participate in a fundraising Champagne Luncheon next Friday, supporting St Jude's School in Tanzania. If you don't know anything about it, it's a great story, so please click on the link to find out more.

This illustration may end up as a limited edition screenprint - I've just got to try it! I'm booked in to attend a screenprinting workshop in Brisbane on 30 August, but that'll be too late - so I hope I can get it right before then.

I've got plenty of work to display for sale, but am doing some extra special pieces, these are some little student pics that I'm working on - they're already a bit different than this - I'm not happy with the colours yet, which will be mounted under glass in box frames. I'll be sure to post the end result.

And this is the lovely Sophia, rugged up against our recent cold weather. She's just started walking and the house is now destroyed daily. She's terrific.

Inspired by Peacocks

"Royalty" - 45cm square acrylic on stretched canvas - $380
"Proud As" - 45cm square acrylic on stretched canvas - $380

Both are available as cards, prints, or stretched canvas prints from my page at www.redbubble.com/people/annab

They're gold and rich and I really enjoyed painting them!

Remember what this felt like?

This painting is of my son, Josh. The one who will NEVER die from a stress ulcer. The one who would happily jump off almost anything and not worry about how he's going to land. It's not that bad a way to live really.
I'm thinking this one will also make it's way to the Downlands Art Show. It's 60 x 90cm, acrylic on chunky gallery wrapped canvas.
It's a painting of that feeling and I think it'd be great to have on a wall in your house to remind you of that feeling. And if it doesn't sell, I'll happily keep it!

Sketches of Boyne Island

These are some sketches I did while at Boyne Island last January. I made a pack of them for my sister's birthday and they are now available individually from my redbubble page.
