Week 26: 21 September 2020

Carol Woodhams, The Dam is Full, 20 September 2020
Inspired by a photo taken by my daughter-in-law, Kate. Sunset by the very full dam on their farm in Axedale. Very grateful for the rain.

Angela Morrissey, Chinese Mother and Child, 13 September 2020
This painting is part of my Red Dynasty compositions of artworks based on China and North Korea. This artwork is based on an old Communist China propaganda poster encouraging parents to have one-child families and to welcome girls as much as boys. Now China is trying to encourage two-child families.

Dr Michael J Leach, The Australian Anthropo-seen, 14 September 2020
Michael is a poet and epidemiologist at Monash University School of Rural Health, Bendigo. His poems reside in Cordite Poetry Review, the Medical Journal of Australia, and elsewhere. This poem was written in response to documentaries and articles about koalas.

Bree Galvin, Singin' in the Rain, 14 September 2020
With lockdown and the inability to roam I have taken inspiration from all the iconic sites we have right here in Bendigo. This is my third piece in my Loving Local series.

Jeanette Guidi, Spring/Summer breakout, 15 September 2020
Cannot wait for a blooming spring breakout --- of lockdown!

Kathryn Harrison, Peach Heart, 15 September 2020

Sylvia Hewitt, Bulrushes in Water, 14 September 2020

Tom Drust, Our productive garden, 17 September 2020
My painting is of our productive garden. We have lots of different food crops in our veggie patch and we use it every day in our cooking. We also have a chook shed and we collect eggs from them. I've included wildlife in my painting. We also have a bee hive in our front yard.

Lynda Williams, Whoo Hoo Covid restrictions lessened in regional Vic, 18 September 2020

Greg Penno, Spring has Sprung (acrylic on canvas), 18 September 2020

Julie Kala, Old Violet Street, 15 September 2020
Another lovely old place, I found on my walk, to sketch.

Meg Doller, Mapping my journey (workshop ephemera), 11 September 2020
This 'map' reflects my journey as was constructed during an art therapy workshop with Kerryn Knight. Materials used include handmade inks, conte, charcoal and posca paint pens.

Genevieve Somerville, Covid’s little helper (textas), 18 September 2020

Imogen Somerville, Mandela-adding some colour to the world (textas), 18 September 2020

Eric Kala, Another letter of the Alphabet, 15 September 2020
Just for fun, the letter "O".

Frances Forge, Sunrise in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, 17 September 2020
A photo my husband took on a crisp, somewhat chilly, morning in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges inspired me to paint this watercolour. Where was I at the time? Snug and warm in bed!

Milton Long, Earrings, 15 September 2020
These earrings are enamel, on patterned fine silver, with a sterling silver chenier (pipe) drop. The enamel disc is a bit smaller than I have been making recently, but I think I prefer it.

Vanessa Campi, Untitled (prismacolor on paper), 18 September 2020

Kay Aitken, Learning (watercolour), 19 September 2020
Another change of medium for me - watercolour.  After doing one lesson titled, "The Nature of Watercolour" with Maxine Wade last year it is time to revisit this medium.  In this piece I concentrated on how much water I had on my brush and paper.  I have such a long way to go on perfecting watercolour but it is fun trying.

Melanie Thoren, The Marilyn Treatment (#1), 16 September 2020
This work is an exploration of female identity, created from a photograph of a plaster cast of my own face, and a combination of collage and watercolour.

Jin Turpie, Luffy from One Piece, 19 September 2020

Peter Fountain, Nugget (acrylic and chalk), 19 September 2020
The rocks around Central Victoria, eh?

Jane Ineson, Life Drawing (graphite), 20 September 2020

Andre Sardone, A Posse of Pods, 20 September 2020
The style of these small ‘Traditional’ Pods is from a few years ago, which were the beginning of the Pod series. Having since acquired more skills and knowledge it was interesting to see how I used to make these compared to now.

Bridget Finch, Bird and Blossoms, 20 September 2020
I've been making use of the extra time spent at home working on a photographic record of the bird species on our block in Mandurang. So far I've photographed 36 species, though not all of them are as pretty as this shot!

Leah Macdonald, Anticipation, 19 September 2020
The latest in a series of abstract pieces representating ideas and/or emotions.

Iris Macdonald, Kitty Cat Stack, 19 September 2020
My two cats, Smudge and Suki, gave me the idea for this drawing.

Jane Coburn, Granny's Jug, 17 September 2020
Happy with this gouache still-life, but not sure if it's "finished". I'm tempted to outline some/all the elements in black, but would that enhance the painting? ... Something to ponder during the week.

Owen Draper, My dog... Tashi, 20 September 2020

Paul Casey, On the Landing (pen and ink), 20 September 2020
New drawing of young John.

Gail Casey, Boronia still life (in progress) (watercolour), 20 September 2020

Harley and Pippa Walker, Pippa's pink bunny and the bee, 19 September 2020
Pippa: I found an old box and I made it into a box bunny. I painted it and put the ears and tail on the bunny. I got a chalk box and painted it to look like a bee with wings and ears and eyes and mouth.
Harley: This is a fearsome creature and it sort of looks like a Bat!?

Kerry Punton, Grevillea and birds (acrylic on canvas), 20 September 2020

Barb Fordham, Touch of Love, 20 September 2020
In these crazy times, the simplicity of touch is what we long for!
Our thumbs remind us to pray/think about those closest to us and our pointer or index finger reminds us to pray/think about those who heal, teach or instruct us.

Des Lowry, Wallaby in One Tree Hill: 2 (watercolour), 20 September 2020

Lucy Hodson, Elsa's Fortress of Ice, 20 September 2020
Collage of crinkle cut paper and stickers created with mum on Sunday morning. It has one of my favorite characters, Elsa, at the top of a windy staircase in her fortress of ice.

Florence Hodson, KISS tribute, 20 September 2020
This is Paul, Gene and Peter from the rock band Kiss going for a drive in their car. I love creating things with my craft stuff.

Frankie O, Rose China, 20 September 2020
Watercolour painting of vintage tea cups with gold leaf embellishments. Two of my favourite things.

Bridie Margaret O'Toole, Lion in the garden (digital), 17 September 2020
