There's something in the air…

By elise | Published: December 30, 2008

Did you notice it? Those almost imperceptible spices in the breeze, a far-off snatch of music, the pricking of the thumbs…  Yes, the blog is now a journal. Already, I feel different. Faster, stronger, smarter! I hope everyone is getting a bit of a break and feeling terribly relaxed and replete. Can you believe there’s [...]

B-Grade opening

By elise | Published: November 15, 2008

That was fun last night. The show looks great – paintings, sculpture, drawings, photography, dolls and video. My personal favourites are the creepy car and the Sesame Street footage running to spooky horror film music. Nice. And really great to see some uni friends I haven’t seen in Years. Hi guys Allie did a great [...]

Tuesday

By elise | Published: November 14, 2008

It’s just under 30 up here in the studio which means I can paint but drawing would be getting uncomfortable. There’s a little quiet breezy music playing – Sarah Blasco, Norah Jones, Goldfrapp, Lost in Translation bits and even chilled Beastie Boys. It just needs to be twilight outside and all would be sweet. As [...]

Progress report

By elise | Published: October 11, 2008

For those who saw this picture beginning a month ago, here’s where I’m up to… In the city of bears. This greeny-blue seems to be a colour that automatically comes out of my brush these days. I think because I’m using touches of red in so much of my work at the moment – the [...]

tomorrow's market

By elise | Published: October 4, 2008

Just gathering my reference material for tomorrow’s painting at the Convent Market… I found a beautiful picture of a little girl with a 40s haircut in an old photography book recently. She is standing by a window, probably of a department store – you can’t quite see. There’s such an enigmatic expression on her face. [...]

The secret joy of festivals…

By elise | Published: August 15, 2008

It’s monday now and I’ve had an enormous week. Yesterday was the Ivanhoe market – battling the cold in our art deco hall and being grateful to everyone who braved the weather, ignoring olympics and heating for a short while. It was our first birthday actually, with cake and champers to celebrate, and I set [...]

Storytelling

By elise | Published: June 28, 2008

I went to see Rick Amor’s show at Heide the other week. It was the second time I’ve seen it actually. Normally when I go to an exhibition I do a quick circuit until I find one or two paintings that really hit me and I spend almost all of my time in front of [...]

We're back baby!

By elise | Published: April 9, 2008

We had the Convent market on Sunday and it was an absolute delight. The sun was out, our brilliant band was playing, people moseyed around enjoying their day and I had a lot of lovely conversations while I painted. For the last few months its been a little quiet there – fewer stalls, different dynamic. [...]
