CATCHING THE SUN IN BROOME

I travelled to Broome recently which is in Western Australia  in a region called The Kimberly. A place of stunning sunsets, red, red earth, warm balmy weather and glorious vistas. About 400 km south is a place called 80 Mile Beach which is shell paradise! The beach is adorned with trillions of shells, coral and other sea jewels.

DESERT ARTISTS

Billy Benn painting in the Bindi studio
Cockatoo's by Jane Mervin
I am in Alice Springs at the moment which is in the Desert in the middle of Australia. Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit the Bindi Art Gallery and studio which provides supported employment for artists with disabilities. There was a wonderful array of bright vibrant paintings in production and on display.

PUCKER UP

I  have been taking photo's recently of all my mum's (Norma Larsen) paintings. Strange as it may seem I had never really noticed how beautifully she painted lips. I so love the textures and palette of hues she produced in her paintings.
