the good old days

from w
I found some sketches from years gone by - by me in the days when I was sketching around Suva and nearby, but one of Lelean school was painted by one of my students at that school - maybe 1963. One of Veitalacagi, the teachers' house near the girls' dormitory in Davuilevu where I once stayed. One of the mosque in Toorak from the time I lived opposite in a room at the back of the house of my Indian friends. Sounds of the call to worship was intertwined with the tonic solfa choir practices at Jubilee. Two pictures I altered using photoshop, a program I am playing with at present and post some results mainly on the geelong visual diary blog. Better than doing housework I reckon.

Paintings of Vorovoro and Pacific Harbour

from w
Two paintings hang in the sitting room next to the garage - in acrylic and they were made some time ago. One from Peceli )with a bit of help from his teacher!) one from me. Vorovoro Island. Pacific Harbour Arts Village. I was taking a small painting class for adults in our home those days and Peceli decided he could paint too!
