The number of visitors was steady over the weekend - it gave us the opportunity to: spend time with people; to learn a little more about each other; and it gave us time to re-affirm that Fiona and I have a fortunate art live.
I thought I would just share a few photos of the studio and how it was set up for the weekend. There is every chance that Fiona will share many similar photos.

Barry, your photos and Fiona's give a lovely feel for the studio set up and the peaceful atmosphere that seems to come naturally to you both. I'm so pleased you had a happy weekend and I'm tentatively thinking I may get to the next one. Your large patinated leaves are gorgeous - I think there will need to be one in my collection before too long. Congratulations to you both!
ReplyDeleteGreat to be able to browse through your open studio, Barry. It almost makes up for not being there in person. The "almost floating" vessel looks like ancient treasure.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've set I tup. I'd have been there but for a trip to Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tour, Barry. Love the pods in sand, great idea!
ReplyDeleteHi C, R, JM & VA - thanks for your ongoing interest and support - encouragement from fellow artists is the best - keeps the spirits up. C - the block and the gallery have come quite a long way since your last visit - I think you have left it far too long - be good to see you up this way. R - pleased you enjoyed the browse both through my blog and Fiona's it is a good way to just bering the gallery-studion virtually to fellow artists. The floating vessel is new for me - and you are right it does have a very old feel and look. JM - we missed your visit. VA - i think the sand works really well with these small fire colour pods - I will definitely use this as a way of presenting these pods. All - go well. B
