hello artblog no.19

well here we are again, how i did miss writing these weekly musings, with a full time occupation this past year my own artwork has suffered, but that is ok… life happens… things happen… onwards and upwards as grandpa used to say…. so here i am…. i am back with bells…thank you to my dearest friends who have missed my artblogs…and told me so… i really appreciate the feedback and saw that it may have meant a little something something. so how exciting that we have a brand new modern gallery wing as a part of the art gallery of nsw, in our city of sydney… right next to the wonderful botanical gardens which i do love to stroll around at my leisure… its all the green i think…cant get enough of the greenery… i was so fortunate to have the opportunity to be one of the first lot of people to step into the gallery through the traditional owners smoking welcome ceremony before it was open to the world… such privileges i do dare say… there is quite a lot of glass in the building and it lets in a vast amount of light, showing off our blue cobalt sky and wooloomooloo bay with Yayoi Kusama sculpture bringing a vast amount of joy from flowers on the horizon… with strong sydney sandstone sweeping walls and twirling and spiralling staircases. these led down to the darkness and depths towards a site specific alien like artwork by Adrian Villar Rojas that aligns mystery of dark hues and light forms, where the WWII bombs once laid… so historical …. so dark…so nice to have a new fresh space to visit and see more art anyways…. maybe one day, my work will be on those walls, one has to dream, do they not? dreamer …dream… breathe….so now i am back in my little camellia studio preparing to create some magical artworks that hopefully will delight some, as long as i like them…. this art… it is but a habit… a need.. an inclination to create… so natural… the art of being… have a nice weekend, ciao
