A winter afternoon of sunshine, found Janelle & I outside my studio painting floor matts for Mr.Rainbow & the Studio.
Inspired by some folksy painted floor matts Grandma, Mom & I came across while driving across Canada, these colourful explotions are sealed with a polyurethane finish for durability & ease of cleaning.
It's almost a shame to walk on them!

For Mr.Rainbow of course!

Scarlet 2012
Current Members Exhibition at Serpentine Gallery
This is the Serpentine’s 6th annual ‘Scarlet’ exhibition.
Opening night was held on June 1, artworks are on display until the end of the month.
This exhibition is about delving into people’s perceptions of sexuality, beauty, love, seduction and lust - concepts that many of us struggle with in today’s world.
And last, but certainly not the least, my own contribution!
Seeing as it is extrememly unlikely that any of you from home will be hoping a plane by then I thought I'd share some of my favorite local artist-friends contributions to the show...

April Road Trip
Clint 'Dundee'
Had a fun intense week with Clint exploring southern Queensland; Brisbane, Glasshouse Mountains, Maleny, Australia Zoo, Sunny Coast, Caloundra Beach, Buderim, Gold Coast, Burleigh Heads…
Niesha
Followed by a totally spur of the moment art exploration trip to Melbourne with Niesha! It was one of those times where I offered to drop her off at the airport & she said, 'Why don’t you come with me?' OK! Mr.Rainbow was left in Clint's very capable care and off I went!
Returned through Sydney and drove back to where I am now in my new warehouse studio at Gallery 33.3 in Lismore, Northern NSW.
New Studio
My first week here was amazing, there was lots of different artistic events going on, so you can be sure that I took advantage of them all!
Wednesday :: There was an Art Flashmob happening in the town centre, where artists were encouraged to show up & create... Not much of a "mob", but there sure was alot of art & creativity flowing!
Friday :: Found me teaching an art collage workshop for Lismore’s “Art in the Heart” efforts.
The Serpentine Gallery opened another group show titled 'Metamorphosis' that same evening.
Fellow Artists
Saturday :: Gallery 33.3 opened a group show titled
Lismore Mayor, Jenny Dowell
Sunday :: The Serpentine Gallery had its Annual Art Auction at the Pop-Up Gallery in the heart of Lismore on Magellan Street.
What a great re-introduction to Lismore & its thriving arts community!
Dragonfly Cafe Exhibition
I did, I did! Got two separate write ups in the Northern Rivers Echo about my art!
Got the centre spread!
and then a follow up in the Scene, thanks Goba!
Where my art is now...
Dragonfly Cafe Exhibition & Closing Night was a success!
Have taken down my Dragonfly exhibition now and am really pleased with how it all went. My intentions for the exhibition were met, none of my artworks have come home with me.
Fourteen paintings have found new homes thanks to Shey's wonderful auctioneering! and all remaining paintings have been transferred to other Galleries & Cafes;
Will be becoming a temporary 'Lismorean' come May 1st, am renting a shared studio space at Gallery 33.3’s warehouse, there’s even a shop front to put work up in!
Things are look promising.
Have even started a new Art Residency this week, will post photos soon!

"Dreamscapes"
I've got a room full of ladies with one male and a couple of abstracts. They look awesome all together in the one big open space AND they have already been censored! One photograph of a painting, two paintings and seven title labels have been pulled out, I'm taking it as a bit of a compliment. Paintings are obviously a bit too risque & potentially offensive for those of milder tastes.
Ahhh... Censorship....The sign of a real artist!
Sneak Preview - Mini-Art Booklets
Inspired from market days with Jessica.
Measuring 3.5" x 2.5" [ 9 x 6.5cm ], these little art booklets will fit in your pocket, wallet or purse. Each booklet is filled with 20 pages of beauty to uplift the soul & imagination and can be pulled out at anytime you need some extra colour in your life :)
All contain photos of my original paintings.
01 :: Wild Ginger, shows the progression of her creation.
02 :: in abstraction, contains a selection of my abstract paintings.
03 :: unbridled passions, holds a series of my women.
"Wild Ginger" Hanging
Happy new owners! Amy & Lily Oldfield
Thanks for helping hang her Paul! Simply couldn't have done it without you :D
Oldfield Commission IV
There's been a fair bit of development with this peice in the last couple of weeks, so there's a fair few progression photos to catch up on….
The Australian Bee
Defining her face.
Had been sketching out our lady flat & it was only when I raised her up vertical that I realized I’d drawn her body out of proportion to her head. So first things first… lets re-proportion her!
She’s been fleshed out, with a touch of colour added.
Now for all the critters in her hair, she’s a bit like Snow White in that she will be surrounded by an assortment of butterflies, insects & birds, all tangled & partially hidden in her wind blown hair.
She has a bird on her shoulder & butterflies in her hair…
The Lady-Bird in flight!
Background Layer 01 - Building up the background layers
Background Layers 02-03 - Its getting exciting now!
Background Layers 04-05
Defining her face.
Am really pleased with her expression, she has very strong, and yet soft features with very direct looking eyes :D
