Art Melbourne 2012

 Went to Art Melbourne on 25.4.12 and was pleasantly surprised by a few of the exhibits. Many of the artists were present and happy to talk about their work. I really loved the bronzes (above) by Kerry Cannon, as well as some beautiful and very expressive and tempting photos of budgerigars by Leila Jeffreys (below) priced at $2200

Also loved these very precise and psychedelic interiors by Grant Anthony Cohen. Fascinating biography and amazing to see what a trained accountant with a love of fine and decorative arts can do when he turns his hand to painting..

Criss Canning at Metro 5 gallery May 2012

Wonderful to go and see Criss's new work last wednesday night. The paint was so lavishly applied, the flowers were really in 3 dimensions. The colours clear and unmuddied, the composition sublime as usual but wonderful to get up really close and see the brushstrokes. A new theme was of seashells but I still love the flowers best.. http://www.metrogallery.com.au/
