What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menonday Art Vibe; Home Hangs Series

Due to being sequestered for the winter in The Hutch, there have been no visits to galleries to top up my image files. I am hopeful that will change over the course of the next couple of months...

Meanwhile, I thought I might share a few of the items from my personal collection. The photos are not brilliant, as I have had to fight the light a bit, but I hope you will enjoy seeing what I get to look at every day...

Let us begin with a small piece I have owned for 27 years (as affirmed by the signature patch, Ng 99). Very 'Austalgic'...I was showing a visitor around the beach suburb of Manly, when we came across the Vietnamese artist Joseph Ng working magic with spray cans. His larger pieces were delightful, but it was this little, eight-inch piece, worked in a matter of minutes with spray and plastic card before my eyes, that caught my heart - wallet.

    Wow, that is great!
    Is it representing a particular species of bird life?

    Very nice - my tendency to buy animal based art work has put a strain on the wallet at times as well - now I am limited by wall space.
    I had such a great time in India (my 4th trip) which will come as no surprise to you at all I think!
    Hope all is well.

    I am sure that every time you look at it, it evokes great memories, YAM. Will you ever see a Kookaburra again? Is a trip down under at least a possibility?

    As I've always been when it comes to paintings, I remain longing to understand more of this painting.
