NEW ART GARAGE!

Art Residency II

So my road trip has ended. Mr.Rainbow, CeeCee & I are happy to be back 'home', parked in Sal's lush country drive.

It seems that Sal's pretty happy to have us back as well... seeing as she has offered up the garage to use as studio space! What a fantastic 'welcome home'! I may just be sticking around for a while longer, aye?

The new studio is just steps from home...

...with glorious country views.

First project :: the completion of the Oldfield commission.

My breakfast nook & lunch space :D

The Last Legs...

A few photos of the last legs of my road trip...

Rainbow, Hat Head NP

Guy & Sarah chilling out in Hat Head NP

Beautful campground at Stuart's Point, NSW

Another stunning beach at Stuart's Point, NSW

Thanks for the lovely birthday present Mom! Funnily enough, it was only last week that I was on this beach searching for driftwood...

Scott's Head, NSW

Port Macquaire, NSW

Bought & tried Marlin for the first time. What an interesting tasting fish, it's so dense & juicy it almost tasted like it could've been a steak!

Leah's Thai Style Room

Spent a cruisy afternoon with Leah putting up these lovely curtains in her Thai-style room... gotta mix art & interior design-ing with friends & travel!

Am now very happy to be back at Sal's in the hills and am looking forward spending a lovely evening on the deck, under the moonlight with friends, food & good wine for my birthday :D

STILL ROAD TRIPP'N

Sydney back to Northern NSW (and beyond?)

An Australian Warratah

Although I was originally thinking to just gun-boot it back ‘home’ from Sydney to Sphinx Rock [ mainly because I didn’t think there’d be any room left to sleep in Mr.Rainbow once I got everything packed in there ] I’ve decided to extend my road trip and take my time returning north… It’s a tight fit, but there’s still been just enough room for me to sleep! YAY!

ROAD TRIPP'N III

Sydney

A weekend in Sydney is the perfect amount of time spent, stayed busy & entertained, got to hang out at my favorite cliff side walk & beach, CurlCurl and met up with old friends :D

Le Kiosk :: Restaurant at Shelly Beach.

After 9 years of wanting to go, I FINALLY went! Delicious.

View of Sydney Harbour Bridge from Pyrmont

View of ANZAC Bridge from Pyrmont

But as always I forget to take pics of friends & places where I’ve already been, so there’s not too many of those to share.

ROAD TRIPP'N II

The Inland Track to Sydney

After a few false starts, a few loop-de-loops, some delays and other waylays… CeeCee, Mr.Rainbow and I finally made it to Sydney
