Sydney Exhibition - Anita Hochman

If you are in Sydney next week I would absolutely recommend you take a trip to the Depot Gallery in Danks St Waterloo and have a look at Anita Hochman's latest exhibition. I have one of her paintings and I look at it in wonder every day. She has the most incredible ability to create a scene in just a few brush strokes.

She is the featured artist this week on Artswhatson.com.au

Exhibition Dates: 1/6/2010 - 12/6/2010

Opening: Saturday 5th June 4pm - 6pm

The Depot Gallery

Oil Painting for Beginners

Ok don't laugh but I am doing a painting class this weekend. It is an oil painting class run by Ken Harris who has a tv show on a local station but I have always been impressed at how he seems to magically create trees and skies and other things with a flick of a brush or palette knife. So when I heard about this class I signed up.
He does seem to have an ongoing theme of palm trees but I left them out of the second painting below.

Anyway - I am having fun and even Peter was a little impressed when I brought these two masterpieces home tonight. At least I am learning some techniques and it is always good to learn something new - and I got to buy some more paints and things which is always a bonus

I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
