My exhibition in Coffs Harbour is now on show. The opening was well attended and the worked looked good on the walls. It was interesting to see the different approaches of four different painters working in the same area. Some depicted scenes at a distance and some being immersed in the landscape. My work at the moment is of the latter.
The artist talk the morning after the opening was interesting in the end. There was a lot of discussion of women's art in particular landscape painting. There was discussion as to whether women's sensibilities led to different artistic expression.
