Tis the (Very) silly season, and what with a show over and repacked, a holiday coming up, Christmas and Family, and organising workshops for next year, I'll be taking a short break until early in the new year.

Thanks for returning to, and reading this blog and to all my loyal followers, a very Merry Christmas and/or Happy holiday to you all!

New On-Line Mentoring and Portable Painting Workshops

Are you in charge of a resort and want to attract your guests with cultural interests? Do you have a wonderful home, holiday house or favourite retreat in a special location? Want to develop your painting or gain guidance or mentoring for a creative group of friends? Or do you just want to indulge your creative juices and see your environment in a new light?

I am now offering weekend classes, individual tuition and workshops at your location. Perfect for connecting into the art scene, hosting a weekend with a difference for friends or family, immersing yourself in landscape "Plein air" painting, or for group weekends away.

Gabrielle will help you see and experience your favourite place in a new and different way, to leave your every day life behind and deeply relax by accessing the Right Side of the Brain and learning to play again. Or you could discover a creative bone you may have thought absent, dead or gone! Details here

Love painting but can't make classes and workshops?

Sign up for an 8 week painting course without leaving the comfort of your home.Due to demand, I am also offering On - Line Mentoring classes. Details on how it works and what's involved are here.

It's been a pretty good week.

I have a Sydney 2009 painting put on hold by Westfield for their "Quintessential Concierge" VIP room in the newly renovated Sydney Tower, Pitt Street complex.

My students in the Master Class at Goulburn loved the workshop and want me to hold workshops at Bowral and Canberra.

I sold "Uncertain truth," a Goulburn painting to a friend.

An Art consultant I have been chasing decided to come to my studio, loved the work, and wants images so she can be an advocate in her practice. She loved my charcoal drawings as well!

I am off to the studio today to show another new client (with connections!) a large abstract painting for her harbourside house. If bought, the painting will go into a collection that includes John Beard's work.

And I'm off on Holidays tomorrow...

So here's the pics from Goulburn, in case you didn't manage to cross over to my website to have a sticky beak.
