Melbourne

We spent some time in Melbourne and it featured some rainy and cold weather. It didn't worry us much as we planned to focus on art for the entire week.

By art I mean, both the practise of art and the study of art.







We spent 5 hours at the Picasso Exhibition - 1935 - 1945, The Dora Maar years and came away with a whole new view on Picasso and in complete awe of him as an artist.

We then switched focus to Australian art and visited Heidelberg where the famous Australian school spent so much time practising their own art. To support this visit we also went to the Ian Potter Centre and visited the Australian art and enjoyed seeing the work of preeminent Australian artists such as Frederick McCubbin and Fred Williams.

We rode on the trams constantly - what a brilliant form of public transport they are! This allowed us to sketch and draw many people in public.

We also enjoyed the superb cuisine offered by the many restaurants in the city. This included this delectible delight...










And this one...

And when I came home, we relaxed here and enjoyed talking.

When I had recovered, I finally finished this. Now I can move on to new things... when I have the energy and time now that I am back at work and university study once again.
