Does anyone have any suggestions for a title for this painting?
I am interested to hear what you think this painting is about.
This is the first painting that I completed this year (semester one).
It was painted after a break of almost 17 years( where did the time go?)
I left art school at the end of 1989 (a "post-certificate" year at East Sydney Tech- now known as the National Art School). Some time was spent in a studio in Darlinghurst, where I completed a set of seven self-portraits. Two of them were sold- one is in Wilsons Creek, I think, and the other may be somewhere in Sydney. There were other paintings, and a couple, or a few, group shows.
After that some time travelling around- Brisbane and Byron Bay for a year.
Then there was a relationship, marriage, and we brought three children into the world.
I guess that's where the time went- busy raising 3 kids etc etc. Trying to survive as best as possible.
That's enough history for one night.
I'm reflecting because I'm wondering "what's next?"-this being a period of an ending.
And of course, with endings comes beginnings.
