Gallery Bash

Invited to the opening of Lava Glass Gallery yesterday by Evelyn Henschke.
Really impressed with the range and qualiy from professional glass Artists in the South -West.
Highly recommended - stop in on the way Down South or on the return journey.

Went on to Yallingup Gallery's  Garden Gallery (134 Marrinup Drive ),opening - works by Nelly Crawford, Larry Mitchell and Douglas Kirsop.
Study of Nellie's still lifes, (stilled lives?) will tell you much about composition, observation, light, mood and drawing and painting competence - aspects often neglected or undervalued in contemporary art instruction. Look and learn.

Larry Mitchell continues to demonstrate mastery of large , representational landscape in new works, and his treatment of water and aerial perspective are consistently impressive.

Douglas Kirsop's large Kimberley and Pilbara pieces represent a real understanding of this difficult country.  Few Artists can come close to his interpretation of light in landscape but his recent forays into abstraction are an exciting and intriguing direction
