3 #abstractday. The word I stumbled across is projection. Our library is great: despite being in a small-ish mountain town they organize so many things. Amongst these there's a film projection initiative where over the course of 5 months they have presented 5 films released in 2024. #abstract #art

Rough diamond sounds nice :) Melbourne late 90s, I can picture it. St Kilda was a favourite area of mine from around that time. I'm glad you were there and have happy memories.

An interest which came from my favourite matchbox car - a vibrant magenta. I loved the intensity of the colour. And here we are. 💖

Qué buena idea. La mejor manera de aprender una técnica es probar a hacerla. Ingenioso. Y bien hecho, tu retrato es fuerte y complejo.

"Portrait Of Suzanne Valadon." Pastel and acrylic. #art #artsky #painting #painter #blueskyart Born in 1865, Valadon was an idiosyncratic French artist and model known as the first female painter to depict a male nude (a great sin at the time.)

Peonies in a teapot. Back in 2020 one of the first people we became friends with in Gérardmer gifted us some peonies from her garden. Lacking a vase we put them in the large teapot we found in our rented flat. Watercolor and fine liner #sketch #watercolor #flowers

CHARLES DEMUTH'S (1883-1935) homoerotic watercolors give us a rare glimpse into the underground gay culture of the early 20th century. Although he was a key figure in the modernist movement, his homoerotic artwork could never be exhibited in his time. #gay #art #artist #history #nude #nudist #male

It was like the wild west in a way - anything and everything possible. Outrageous, defiant. I have always liked "knee high to a grasshopper" because I immediately form an image in my head of just that.

The Albury was known for its drag shows and porn star barmen. Between Darlinghurst and Paddington, other side of the street from the Lizard Lounge. That photo, late in the day, 1991 I think.

Yes indeed. I have digitalised and restored original video from Lizard Lounge. I posted those on yt. That venue was for the kooks, how good it existed. I can post links if you want. I did Lance Leopard's portrait as part of the same exhibition as the Fanny portrait.

Fanny Farquar lit up Sydney’s queer scene in the 80s/90s. In the mid 90s I painted 50 leaders for Mardi Gras, auctioned for AIDS care. Fanny, there in a wheelchair, stirred mayhem & laughter. I’m glad Fanny/Ron got to see his portrait. 💙 #Blueskyartshow #shiny #art #painting #gayart #gay #gayartist
