Learning new techniques Daniel Butterworth Workshop

I spent a wonderful weekend doing Daniel Butterworths's workshop in Brisbane held at Bienarte. Daniel is such an inspirational artist and such an honest and humble man. His workshop was outstanding. He was very generous in sharing his tips and techniques and gave incredible demonstrations. I learnt many things and now need to implement them in my practice.

Top of the sandblow. Wasn't sure i would make it to the top. It was such a hard climb in such soft sand but we did it.

I have been very fortunate to spend the last three days on K'gari (Fraser Island). It was so wonderful to unplug from the busyness of daily life and take sometime to reconnect to nature and nurture myself. I have come back feeling less stressed and rejuvenated. Such an amazing place to visit.

My husband and I had a wonderful day visiting the Tweed heads Art Gallery to see the visiting exhibition of Archibald paintings. The works were truly amazing. These were two of my favourites.
