A long overdue post....
..and a quickie. Happy new year all. I've been a little quiet, hectic times, Life Drawing group is on a break till Feb, I'm not feeling too inspired to post images as I still need to replace my doorstop with a decent camera... but I have updated my website a little with some more recent nocturnal road series paintings, here's a couple...
And I've also been acquiring the odd little treasure like this lovely piece from Dianne Gall
and this one from Triecia Gibney, our wedding car was one of these.

5 Random Facts
1 - In my art school days living in inner city Sydney I had an unforgettable ugly and quite frightening encounter with a very famous artist. It happened in our share house well after the local pub's closing time and what I understand was a binge of several days.
2 - My job of 13 years is a Deuce Bigalow style Aquarium and Pond service/installation business. A lot of the people we see are quite well off and it's great for art spotting, from paintings in houses to sculptures sometimes in and around ponds.
3 - Recently I've renewed my interest in skateboarding, old school style.
4 - I love fishing, but haven't had time to do too much of it lately. I love the pre-dawn outings, hiking to discover remote areas by foot or boat. The only thing better than connecting and landing a great fish is safely letting it go.
5 - I'm allergic to morons.

5 - Ben Rowe
Not sure if any of them will play along, but fingers crossed.
