Figtree in Victoria Park - Oz Banyan

 This painting I started  a while ago in Victoria Park. I've been painting it at home from photos during this 43 day so far lockdown, where case numbers have got worse almost every day! It's riddled with loopholes for their business mates. Bunnings is open in this harshest lockdown! The NSW premier claims no-one can defeat Delta - except the other states have pulled in a few outbreaks ,& Taiwan is close to doing the smae. Now cases will endlessly bleed across state borders, exports of NSW so its government can prove its point. 

They must envy de Santis in Florida.

 

 

 

This is an about 80x80cm square piece of stretched linen, and as ever painted in oil paint

Its a quiet spot where I can stay away from anyone else so I might go back there soon and contemplate the location for the Parliament of Fowls I'm going to get started on

 

 

 

I've done a bit more to this but the plug in my good camera died, so getting photos out of it is a bore just now

Minister GHunt

 

 

Would you buy some used medical data from this guy?

 

Gold Medal Worrier for NSW

ermmm.

 

 

 

 

What a wonderful idea! Solving a medical emergency by transforming it into a Law & Order Crisis and unleashing the AWESOME POWER of the NSW Police. Despite the efforts of reviled horse-punchers the virus must be quivering in its little Borg boots.

 

 

 

 

 

Gladys Berejiklian addresses the daily COVID briefing in a brand new cream overcoat. PRIORITIES, people.  The workers in haute couture logistics are ensuring that people can continue shopping and other essential activities. The mental health savings are enormous. Thus I am able to exercise personal responsibility and maintain a maximum anxiety state for NSW. 

 

Gold standard worrying requires comfort in ones personal life. You can leave the home if you need a root and your boo is not available

 

Prints Available - paintings of Sydney

Prints of my work are available. I have these images in stock now. as gorgeous  A3 and A4 laser prints on 350gsm uncoated stock. In theory any of my pictures on the blog can be ordered as a print, though it may be difficult to locate a high res version of some of the older work to print from

Angry Cars on a Rainy Day

 

The view from my studio porch a coupleof years ago

Hand titled and signed I sell them at $40 for A3 &  $30 for A4, so for online sales I'll add a postage and handling fee, for now $AU10, or equivalent in tradable currency within Australia for one print, and incrementing by $2.50 for each extra. For now I'll double that for most other locations, except those that are particularly obscure and expensive. This is all by hand for now, send me a message to subgeometer at gmail if you are interested. I'll organise these and other images in sets and soon I'll even set up some kind of proper shop.

I'm also about to unleash google ads on the site.

Jack of Health

Health Hazzard and Health Ghunt.

Once I'm done with this the finished card will wind up on the political geometry page and I might put it on a chocolate wheel  in the Art Gallery of NSW model I'm curating artwork in

 I'll have to add the COVID NSW suit emblem to this pair of jokers.

 

 

 

 

Repaired so Ghunt(at  bottom) looks like himself

 

 

 Fellow ministerAngus Taylor came and gatecrashed over Greg Hunt's face. I'm not sure how but I guess they've got something in common

 

Hands in their pockets, NSW and federal health ministers

 

Hop budding

 these buds on a fat branch a few cm above the pot are still slowly growing(on 28 July) at 1mm/day as a big shoot which appeared a few days ago from the mulch powers putting on at least 3cm growth/day

 

 

The fat lower stem of a hop vine with buds that have been multiplying and are now slowly starting to grow as the days begin to lengthen a bit

Jacinda Ardern

 

 

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern. What a contrast to Australian PM Mr Oppressive Wallpaper Scott Morrison. In the post below.

 I can only imagine the hourly heavy breathing Scomo puts on Gladys Berejiklian by phone. Have you found the evidence to get out of lockdown Glad? Worlds best contract tracers, they must have the data by now ...

Both will appear on Political Geometry when theyre done

 

Scomo goes on Holiday for Australia

Smirko does what he does best

 

 

Bushfires of unprecedented scope and ferocity...

A global pandemic where millions die

Do what you do best - sneak off on holiday, avoid responsibility, cause, like you don't hold a hose, don't want to get in the way. Its different though when the cameras come out, ScottyfromMarketing will protect us all, a human shield

 

 

Someone told me the the teeth were completely 'on point' - ha

 

 

 

If only he could make it permanent! 

 

Bent Trees on Short Street

Short st runs between Arundel St and St Johns Rd in Forest Lodge, just behind the old coroners court 

 I've been working on this from some photos but I might go sit there for half an hour, its pretty much at my front door, I shouldn't have to get close to anyone, and I'll wear a mask

 

 

What drew me in was the crazy bent trees, which have started off growing up and westward out of the shadow of the wall. But the topiarists of the electricals had other ideas, cutting them back to train them around the sacred wires

The cars parked in the scene are hardly moving ijn this lockdown so I went and took a few photos to work from at home. The spot is about 50m from my front door, and pretty out of the way so I'll probably set up on the spot a bit as well if I think noone will be upset or breach social distance.

 

I'm fully vaccinated but still wouldn't want to pass on the infection to someone who isn't. Like everything Liberals governments do, its a self-serve system designed for hustlers(or rather, to exclude everyone else, perhaps not by design </scoff>, but that's how it works) So those most in need are quite likely to miss out/come last. The same system trhat gifts $20 million to the obscene Gerry Harvey, and doesn't blink an eye at mass homelessness, in fact appears to treat it as a policy goal, one of the very few they go close to achieving.
