Bundle of Wire. An idea for the 3rd entry for the Duke Prize
Time passed. There were three competitions to enter during late August and September, which got in the way of finishing the truck painting, but that is fast approaching the end and I’m very happy with the way it’s going. I shall probably drive over to Melbourne and have a short holiday with it.
Sent off an entry to the Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize (non-acquisitive $10,000) yesterday. The entry form allowed for 3 entries and I had assumed they meant you could enter 3 if you wanted to. Not so. You HAD to enter 3, nominating one as the preferred entry. Fine, if you happen to have a shedful of work, which I don’t, so I added ‘Two Posts’ to my main entry, ‘Battered Sign’ and hung the sawn-off bottom of an oildrum from a chain on a hook to make the third. It came out a lot better than I had anticipated and will probably remain as a viable work.
The new house at Blinman in the Flinders Ranges is wonderful, creating an alternative working space overlooking vast vistas instead of trees, scrub, parrots and ripening barley.
