School is not so bad the second time around!
Ash and I went to the National Gallery of Australia today to try our hands at sketching. I gave Alex the choice of era and culture, and he chose Asian Art. We found ourselves seated in front of a Japanese screen featuring cranes. (I cannot think of anything harder to sketch than Japanese cranes – give me Paul Klee anytime!)
Ash’s work is covered by an embargo, so I can’t show it here yet. Anyway, when my boss checks this attempt out, he will write ‘Software – ONLY software” on my employment file!
You are certainly having fun. Educational too, methinks. Of course we would love to get feedback from Ash. One day, I hope.
Keep well and warm. Above all have fun. xxxxx
I am going down to Canberra this week.
I should check out this place.. 🙂
It is a great place and quite eclectic. I suggest not doing it with a teenager! 😉
I enjoyed my holidays in Canberra in January 2015 and January 2014. I stayed at in Barton which is a short walk to the National Gallery. In 2014 no photography was permitted inside, but in 2015 no-flash photography was allowed. My favourite painting is It is mostly white with some black and dark red, just like a QANTAS plane.
I enjoyed talking to the Aboriginal people at their tent embassy which is across the road from Old Parliament House. I brought some steaks and bread and we cooked them on their fire for dinner.
