Gidget Foundation for Post Natal Depression

Today I've signed up to donate one of my paintings for a Mother's Day luncheon to raise fund for Gidget Foundation. For more information you can check out: http://www.gidgetevents.org/help.htm

On to my art matters, my WIP shown in my last post is not working out and I don't think it will be impressive enough for the Canterbury Art Exhibition. Because I'm limited to only 2 paintings I would like them to really 'shout'.
I started another on a 56cm x 71cm canvas board and it's based on the concept of my 'Blossoms…within' . The working title for it is 'Roses… within' and I've decided not to unveil it until it's completed. As it's painted on a canvas board, I'll need to have it framed which should enhance the painting.
Back to work!

WIP for Canterbury Art Exhibition

This is a re-work of my watercolour titled 'Isadora' but this time in acrylic on canvas. I am experimenting this design on canvas. This work in progress is only a small one - 40cm x 40cm. If this idea works, I'm looking to creating a couple of ladies on canvas at lease twice this size for Canterbury Art Exhibition.
So far, I've basically outlined the design and colours (bound to be altered) and added texture to the hair. I'm waiting for it to dry to see what effect the modelling compound will create for the hair. May need a few more layers.

As for my 'Rose' piece for my abstract class, well - it's gone horribly wrong and it is now living in the 'scrap yard'.

Artz Blitz

Phew! I've finally completed my entry for this year's Artz Blitz.
The theme for this 24hr competition is 'cycles' and I have interpreted it as the lifecycle of a flower. It's painted on a 60cm x 60cm canvas with acrylic.
At this point in time and I have about 2 ish hours left - I still can't think of a title.
Look forward to some comments.
For those in Melbourne, I'll be at Hawthorn Arts & Craft market tomorrow from 10am - 3pm. For more details, check out my website.
