I'm with the portrait I created for the exhibition - Homeward bound.
Below is my entry in the practise portrait section.
We had to pick one of our favourite 2.30hr portraits. I don't finish any of them off at home where as some other artist to. Mine is the LHS one. These sessions are where I play around with colour! This one was created back in 2012.
The idea was that each artist would find a Newcastle subject of 'note' and paint their portrait. You had to have one live session and then finish it from photos. Like a Newcastle version of the Archibald Art Prize!
Here is John with his portrait. The Novatone's barber shop singers sang at the opening and John is a member of that group as well.
Some other entries - There are a wide variety of styles amongst us!
The one above by Cliff had a background of very small photos of Lake Macquarie.
The person runs Disability sailing on the Lake.
Pam with her portrait.
Unfortunately it is very hard to get a decent photo of paintings under glass as reflections obscure them. some were very good. I love both of these.
Bob's portrait of Warren Smith - Lifeguard and Surfest organiser.
Bob created 2 portraits of Warren - even more amazing was that one was done left handed as his shoulder needed an operation.
Bob Fussell from Fussell Marine Warner's Bay - accomplished dinghy sailor. Painted by his wife Kath. There were 3 sailing themed portraits including mine.
Judith with her amazing portrait.
Kay's portrait of Judy Stone the singer. It was in a bad location and backlit and it was very hard to get a decent photo of it. I didn't have enough time or space to create such a large portrait!
More 2.30hr practise portraits
