Various paintings sold at Marion Shopping Centre and Gallery M at the Marion Cultural Centre.  I am having a good year with sales, especially with the small pieces.

The  Marion Art Group has now completed its exhibition program for the year and we now are looking at plans for 2017.

I do have some paintings ready to go for the Victor Harbour Show early in 2017. Therefore I can concentrate on the process of looking for inspiration for an already prepared 700 mm x 450mm canvas to enter into the end of the year City of Marion Exhibition. Peoples Choice awards two out of the last three  years is a good incentive to enter something special!!!

I wonder……… do something with flowers just for a change. Hardly a male’s subject, but if a striking, light filled, dramatic composition then this is a possibility…… some thought and going out with my camera for some fresh subjects is the way to go!!

It has been busy.  Much organisation and work leading up to MAG’s Autism SA fund-raiser August 13th and 14th, at which I sold one of my unsold paintings from 2015.

‘Bougainvillea in shadow’, acrylic on canvas, 400mm x 300mm, SOLD

At this event I also sold a donated painting at silent auction. My fellow artists at MAG encouraged me to donate a ‘hidden creatures’ creation.

I am getting to the stage where I have completed many of this type of painting and although I am, in the main, still selling them, I am fast approaching the time I need to move on. The last few have been a little stilted and ‘forced’ rather than flow naturally off the brush.

‘Life on Mary River, NT’
acrylic on canvas,
700mm x 550mm SOLD at silent auction

I currently have 4 small pieces in Gallery M, Marion Cultural Centre  at MAG’s latest exhibition, ‘LARGELY miniature’.

We are also about to exhibit at Marion Shopping Centre from  Monday 19th to Sunday 25th September. I will have a full screen displaying a variety of sizes of  paintings from miniatures  to  600mm x 400 mm canvases. 12 pieces in all

I am now trying to complete some back-up paintings just in case I sell. Must admit though , I haven’t sold well at Marion Shopping Centre in the past.

Hopefully at the next post I will have some more sales to report.
