I love Community events! Celebrating 22 years, the Balmain Art Show
has grown to be one of the Inner West’s most popular art & craft fair on
the Balmain Peninsula. I’m so happy to be part of this show.

Last year I showed a series of Peninsula Rooftops which I’m proud to say,
were a great success!  So here we go again… Peninsula Rooftops II.
These are small oil paintings, 33 x 33 cm, of familiar local facades,
rooftops and open skies. And the odd telegraph/power pole.
On Saturday and Sunday entry is free, so drop by – there’s art, craft, markets
entertainment, face painting & amusements for kids too!

Balmain Art & Craft Show  –  November 3—5  Sat 9-4pm & Sun 9-11am
2 Eaton Street Balmain 2041

Abandoned since 1983, White Bay Power Station stands silent in decay,
wearing rusting corrugated iron and red brick, broken windows
(now boarded) and tufts of grass, while it waits, and waits, and waits
to seewhat the future will bring. I have been painting this crumbling
structure for about eight years – I will miss it when it’s been cleaned
up and/or developed. Hopefully it will be sympathetic (like the Substation
in Melbourne or some of the ex power stations in the UK).
For now, I will keep painting what’s left of this awesome structure.
These small, beautifully framed gouache (opaque watercolour) paintings
of White Bay are now available at Gallery 503.
