It's been awhile since Norma last exhibited on one of my Exhibitions.....Needless to say, I'm chuffed to have her back. Her work is always of an interesting nature - there's definately nothing "twee" about Norma!!
All of her new paintings are oils...with a story to tell.....this is what Norma has to say:
There's Windmill (above) - with an emergent purpose of drawing that life giving source...water
Full Blown (Poppies) - relative to open blooms - it's alive!!
The set of Chrysanths - an unfurling and dropping of petals...
An Almost Desolate Place - a quiet, almost melancholic painting of an open space with a few emergent trees
Last but not least and perhaps with the longest story to tell, is the painting - Last Stand, Gillitts Bluegums - which when first introduced to this country, were planted in vast numbers as the properties of the timber - straight and hardwood - suited the requirements for props used in the mines......now, however, they are being eradicated as Alien Plants which are also too thirsty and draw too much from our water table. I took a photo of these last fews trees after driving around Gillitts in search of them......
