In the wake of our departure from Melbourne, my studio in Ballarat was requisitioned for extra storage. It was a sorry sight, becoming so overfull that gaining entry was all but impossible. Recently we rented an additional storage pod and over the last few days I've reclaimed my old space and restored it to something of its former glory.

Studio Visitors

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.
