York is only a one hour drive from Perth and showcases some of the most beautiful historic buildings and a has a lovely country feel. The York Art Societies annual Art Exhibition is held every year in the old Town Hall and opens this Saturday 9th October.
I have entered 4 pieces across three categories , Oils, Pastels and Textiles. There special theme this year is titled "Isolation" in which I have entered my Oil piece titled 'Meditative State'
If you are after a show of wildflowers there are plenty in bloom the way up and if you stop for a stroll in the bush there are plenty of orchids too

The Kondinin Art Group are having their annual art exhibition. I have three entrees in this year and took a lovely drive up on the weekend to drop them off. There are still some very good spots along the way to see our Western Australian wildflowers, our farmers great looking crops and you can take in the exhibition as well. Opens this weekend through to Wednesday 13th October.

My piece titled 'Stirling View' received a highly commended in this years exhibition and was sold at the exhibition. Thank you to all those who made the exhibition possible. The pastel artwork was a result of a trip to the Porongurups with our beautiful grass trees(Xanthorrhoea Preissii) and wildflowers in the foreground the view of the Stirling Ranges in the background

Judges comments: A classic bush scene- a true joy for the viewer. The detail and technical proficiency makes this piece a visual delight.
