i'd probably peel off my pants and do squats if I was in the audience here

wow gorgeous new Jeffery Harris paintings showing now at Brett McDowell Gallery

Been working on this one this week, not finished yet, looks a bit sad though I've been reasonably cheerful of late, just been watching the news a bit more so this is a prayer for that sth African runner, without the legs or girlfriend now, and for the poor Chinese choking on their own productivity in Beijing and for the Nth Koreans who seem so keen to set off atomic bombs, whoa... I remember Bigsy on triple R once said we'll all be doing the world a favour if we do nothing but just sit around for a 100 years or so, give the planet and ourselves a break for a bit, let things grow again. Kind of happy I don't hear Bigsy's voice here in Thailand though, imagine waking up next to that voice... sounds a bit more audible when that lady from Dymocks books visits him though, he's always pumped when she visits.

 

good painting buddy Jake Walker  came by for a cuppa and a chat at the end of last year and has just put some snaps on his studio visit blog here...

10 YEARS TOP JOB MOP!!!

 

I made most of my Sydney art friends through MOP projects in 2003 in a group show Tristian Koenig curated. We all went up and watched Tristian hang the show between practicing his Tai Chi, then had the opening then beer and nibbles and walking around Sydney with Ron and George Adams, who amongst others still run the gallery. 

Over the years Ron and George have been amazing to work with. They've never forgotten what arts about, making stuff and getting together to look at stuff and think about it a bit, before going out for a meal and a beer or lemon lime bitters

I showed these paintings up there in 2004. The gallery is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this week and have asked 10 artists from the mass who've shown there over the years to show some new work.  Should be a great celebration. I've made this collection of works on paper for the show

 Opening this Tuesday 5th of March at MOP, www.mop.org.au
