We have been in residence at Nathalia Grainstore now for one and a half weeks and our redgum (which had to be finished before the weekend due to size limitations) is well on the way.
CARDBOARD GLUE GESSO AND PAINT PLUS LOTS OF EFFORT.
Tomorrow is another day and we will be seeing 20 pre-schoolers who will be making superb parrots which will be included in the final installation. Superb parrots are a rare and diminishing species and this part of the country is major habitat, red gums near water seem to be a favourite place for them to find nesting hollows.
Local lad and workshop participant Ian Bolton heads off with his masterpiece. However not everyone sees benefit in maintaining species and habitat..
THIS IS A HAPPY LITTLE SIGN WE GET TO READ EVERY MORNING ON OUR WAY INTO TOWN.
I could not have achieved what I have without the help of my partner and lover Heather, who has shown her graphic skills are still up to par.
Three days remain for my residency and still so much to do. Exhibition is scheduled for June.
SLOW-BOIL A FROG 
It’s looking fabulous Peter (and Heather) – well done!

Hi Paula, thanks. I have to laugh, we have had men drop into the studio and mutter “you are showing great promise” to Heather, (she has painted and drawn all her adult life). Prior to this gig Heather designed an installed a garden at the Melb International Flower and Garden Show, funny thing was during the install men in particular assumed it was MY garden. Thanks for the comment and encouragement.
