The price is eternal vigilance. Liberty in Danger. Some find it in danger, some see liberty in danger right now. We demand liberty, where our desires are our own, not the manufacture of some marketing or political brainwasher. We examine some of the threats - the way that words like freedom and democracy are used to name their enemies! And we aim to enjoy our liberty and have some fun.

Niall and Gabrielle
The finished painting - earlier versions are below
Slowly getting there,
A painting of Niall and Gabrielle I started last year and put aside and have now come back to. There are earlier versions of this painting here
It's still a bit rough, and I'll make it more fleshy and finish the background etc but I'm a lot happier with the likenesses. Newer versions are higher

First show at new TAP gallery, featuring the Sycamores
If you squint a bit maybe you can pick out Leslie Dimmock in the middle somewhere, as well as Peter Hayes, The Sycamores, plenty of others, and a few paintings including one of mine.
TAP have moved downhill a block on Palmer St, now at the apex of a funny fake piazza lined with restaurants

From Town Hall Steps
Almost finished, I won't be taking it back out on the street, just do a tiny bit more on it sometime at home
The top half. less blurry
oThe painting after I did some more work on it today
A partly crappy photo - I can't see paint gunk or anything on android camera lens but it's started blurring a section of the image - like a cheap awful Nikon I had briefly. with a hopelessly distorted lens.
Even before I left the house I got last week's sky all over me
A detail of a couple of the foreground figures, including the charm seller who is always in the area.
Below are older versions
The Falun Gongers disappeared with the chance of showers. If they want to get it they'll have to model for me!
Anyway the ground is almost done, but a bit empty of life, people and trees
Beginning of a new painting of the Cathedral next to Town Hall, with Falun Gong banners at the bottom. They are convinced it will be a propaganda triumph

Outside Rough Edges
finished
finished or close to it
Rough Edges at 231 Victoria St, Darlinghurst, beside St John's Anglican church. This is an almost complete painting, I won't probably take it back to paint more on location, but might retouch a little at home from photos
On Victoria St, Darlinghurst
I've just arranged to have an exhibition in 2 or 3 months at BuzzzBar cafe in Newtown, dates and title coming soon. Anyway I'd best get cracking on some new paintings as the walls are expansive and good for larger stuff than much of what I have done recently.
This isn't finished, just the ground, it needs plants and more people etc

I've shown this picture a Newtown coldbiter who used to be a school art teacher, but I just got a working scanner again, so here's a lot better quality image
