Reedy Creek and Other Adventures

Here are a couple of random shots from our weekend at Ben's dad's place , Reedy Creek South Australia. Near Kingston and Robe. Lovely, cold, ocean and country air. More stars than you can imagine in the sky, with the dust of distant galaxies a backdrop to the awesome sight. These shots are actually the only couple I quickly edited while we were there, I haven't dumped the rest from my camera yet - more adventures and cute nephew photos to come from the couple of days we were in SA.


We picked Lilly-Pillies. This photo is of Sienna holding some of them, this will probably be featured on the Outback Pride website at some point. Speaking of which, there are just a couple of details to go and the new site design will be going online soon.

This afternoon I hung my first mixed media exhibition - I had a photography exhibition in this same cafe a couple of years ago. It looks good, I will upload photos in a couple of days. It feels kind of nerve-racking having them on display, though I really just wanted to see them all hanging up together. I don't have the wall space at home. It was also really hard pricing the artwork, it feels strange to attribute a monetary value. Balancing out time, meaning, emotional attachment, materials, whatever. I am happy it's done, but still feel a bit self-conscious. I guess it's just that art is a personal thing and it is a part of me on display for total strangers to see, and express opinions on (well, potentially).

The kids and I are spending tomorrow at Philip Island visiting a friend. I have a gazillion and a half things to do, as usual - especially because I ignored everything to spend yesterday painting. I'll upload pics of the two pieces I made, probably on Friday I guess. They are part of my exhibition anyway.

Laters!
