A new event for participating artists in this year's Open Studios is an exhibition to be held at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre in September ahead of the main event in October.

Out of Nowhere - Work in Progress
If you've been following me on Instagram you'll know I've stumbled into a new colour combo - Blue Black Indigo and Quinacridone Magenta. Why I launched into new paintings with these colours without having given them a road test in my sketchbook is anybody's guess! So here's a quick sketch using these colours along with white and Pastel Lemon.

Where did my creative flow go?
It happens to us all! Sometimes I just want to put 'everyday life' on the back burner and spend every minute of every day in the studio pursuing my latest creative notion. I confess to the occasional daydream about being one of those artists, so immersed in their work that they live, sleep and eat in their studio to reduce distraction from the outside world.Â
