Much as I enjoyed my trip to Sydney (see previous two posts) there's no place like home. It's been good to be back at work this week, making slow, but steady progress on a new painting.
On Monday, July 11 I
welcomed a special of group of visitors to the Ballarat studio: five students
from Huntingtower Co-educational Day and Boarding School, together with their
teacher, Gillian Nix. I showed them some examples of my print-based work (currently they
are studying linocuts with Gillian). Some students brought along their
workbooks; I very much enjoyed seeing the development of their own works. It was a pleasure to meet them all, and I
hope they enjoyed their visit as much as I did.

This was
Gillian's second visit to the studio. In 2014 she came with another equally delightful group of
students from Huntingtower. I hope that next time it won't be so
long between visits.
