Below are the winners

Here are some pix of the glorious but windy 2 days. We bought a beautiful white tent on line, which we set up on Friday, that blew away on the night with the wind tragically, so the plan of an outdoor gallery then became displaying the art on furniture!!!! Never the less it was a special weekend and images of the winners will come soon!

The kids form the local International Grammar School contributed some fantastic artwork. Parents & children came down to see. I know the teacher is really great because the artwork was amazing and the kids were so proud.!

There were some wonderful paintings on display & we sold too.

A new wonderful addition was the outdoor painting class both days hosted by artist Vee Malnar who represents PAINTED UP SYDNEY. Looking forward to next year! start painting your one foot square artworks & get involved in this wonderful community art festival.

Ann Lin – Third Solo Exhibition 2018 – Landscapes, Figures & Interiors

My work draws its inspiration from colours. Deep reds and greens or rich ultramarine/lapis blue are in strong contrast. To combine these colours together creates a tension. A dramatic mix of spirit and flesh.
I used these colours in “A nude man swimming in the ocean”. I employed a raw emotional energy to paint an abstracted ocean that has a strong sense of ‘rudeness’.
I have used green and pink for “The art class”, the result is a gentle and poetic relationship.
I also tend to have a powerful primary and secondary palette, mixing them to get black and gray, which creates a profound mystery.
“The view of the ANZAC bridge from the balcony after sunset” shows this result.
l liked to mix Australian Salmon Gum and deep Red into the tonal base of some of my paintings, it creating kind of quiet and solitude mood.“The Living Room” is an example.
