I am still working on drawings and have started two new ones
to complete the series. I had planned to finish them before we go away on
holiday for nearly 8 weeks but that seems unlikely since as the images show I haven't worked up the heights and depths much at all yet.
However I’m sure that they
will be waiting for me when I return.
I am not sure how much art will occur while we are away
since there is relative visiting and bike riding and lots of exploring and
walking to do with a husband who is not exceptionally interested in the arts.
It is such a long time since we have had the opportunity to travel that it will
all be a great adventure, whatever happens.
I am sure that I will take lots of photos of fascinating
things. Then, when I return I will have
the ethical dilemma of whether or not I should use any “detail in nature” that
I have photographed on this holiday, in future works of art.
I guess I am a bit of a purist when it comes to subjects for
inspiration. My loyalty is to the Australian landscape and so far I have used only it in my art. I’m sure that rock forms, sand patterns, lichen shapes and
so on are much the same everywhere and I am sure that no-one would notice if I
use photos from a holiday on the other side of the world, but I would know
wouldn’t I?
We shall see. Cheers....
