"Wildflower Wonder - Jilbering II" Pastel by Debra Scidone  Our wonderful Western Australian Wildflowers were the subject for my latest award winning artwork. The scene is from a siding on the way towards Mt Magnet. Only metres from the highway you find yourself immersed in a field of colour at the Jilbering Reserve in early September. We drove on to stay at Nalbarra Station where the wildflowers did not disappoint.

Award Winner - Effective use of colour - Debra Scidone My watercolour 'Moonlit Landscape' was selected by judge Camilla Loveridge for my 'Effective use of colour' in this years MCAA award. The judge's comments were "Beautifully rendered colour showing sensitivity and restraint" The painting is a small 9" x 5" watercolour on watercolour canvas, framed in a natural wood frame to compliment the colours used in the painting. The scene depicts the tawny light of the moonlight just on dusk . I was happy with the atmospheric qualities that I was able to achieve from a very basic palette of complimentary colours. The MCAA Awards are held at the Atwell Gallery, Cnr Canning Highway and North Lake Road, Alfred Cove. W.A. open daily until Sunday 25th August 2019.

This Sunday is the last Sunday in November already! "As the Crow Flies" so do the Sundays in November.If you were thinking how fast the year has gone you are not alone. This Sunday is the last Sunday for my Open Studios in November 2018. Walk thru the gates and pass the crow sculptures sitting on the fence as you make your way thru the garden gazebo Australian gallery then onto the Alfresco Bird gallery and finally into the New York Gallery with the 2 feature paintings "As the crow flies" and "Central Park in Autumn". You'll find Vince busy in the kitchen making you teas and coffees and some home baked scones. biscuits and cakes! There is plenty of story telling and snippets of information from me and a game to test your observation skills as you try and work out which of my Lino prints are missing on the "Control sheet"!

I must like Ducks and I'm not the only one as 2 pieces sold on Sunday. Actually they are birds so it is not that surprising but it turns out I had 3 paintings of Ducks in my Bird Gallery and 2 Photos. The painting titled "Ducklings" found a new home as well as the photo titled "Mother Duck" along with other paintings and prints. Photos may be ordered by contacting me below. Look forward to seeing you this Sunday if you haven't had the chance to visit already to enjoy the "New York Gallery", "Bird Gallery" and "Country Gallery" paintings.  |
