sign outside a stand at the 2015 Mornington Spring Festival at Mornington...
It was a fascinating display of items all cut out from steel...
This photo was taken while it was still being set up...
I tried again later, but there were too many people around...


designer cut outs
ordinary items 
transformed



This is the huge Harley sign...

Arty Toilet Wall

Not often (never?) do I take photos of a public toilet facility.
But this shiny metal one at a park in Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne, fascinated me.
On the outside walls were intriguing images under a glass cover.
This is one of them.


fanciful artwork
like an enchanted young world
of a strange tree house

Wood and Light

Some art featured in a shop at Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula


Art of crafted woods
Grains and tones shine with beauty
A touch of leafed light

Art work has no script
There's just the creative urge
Shaping the vision

A view of Melbourne from inside the Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square.
The centre has 20 galleries dedicated to Australian art over time.

As art time goes by
Recording creative souls

Butterfly Spirit

An example of some metal art I purchased some years ago at the Tasmanian Copper and Metal Art Gallery, Carrick.
The original artist Mirek Marik (who made the above butterfly) has passed on his skills and knowledge to his son Tom, who will continue the family history.
To display it well with shadows, I have added it to my black candelabra shape.


Deep metallic glows
Art of butterfly spirit
Graced with curved shadows

Yarra Red

Strange feature by the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne
On this overcast day, this seemed to glow with colour!

Fiery symbol
Like a burst of flaming light
Brightness on grey days

Memorial to September 11

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A memorial to September 11.
Artwork created by senior students at my school when first the U. S. tragedy occurred.
It was intended to be an expression of sympathy from Australia to the U.S.
P.S. In response to a number of comments, the work was modelled on Pablo Picasso's Guernica.

In columned folds of whimsical purple drapes
Pressing down from skyworlds
And buoyed by earthy orange ochre pillars ~
Final bastions
Of dusky

Even in artland
There can be just a little
Natural
Reality
Squeezed into
Possibility
