I went to see the amazing Vienna exhibition at the NGV in Melbourne the other day. It covered the art and design work of Klimt, Schiele, Hoffmann and Loos. It was hugely inspiring and well worth the visit. I particularly enjoyed the work of Egon Schiele and just love the way he painted hands - one of my drawing weaknesses and it has inspired me to do some studies of hands - practice, practice, practice!

I will be in Melbourne the very last week of the exhibit and can't wait.
I agree - Schiele's drawing skills are so inspiring. Whenever I see his drawings (and yes the hands) I think - must practice my drawing more!!!

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
