Our Love - The Story

Paula Ann Signal aka Rere, Stefano TeVaga aka Steve and I aka Dee are great mates who have been bought together through our love for the arts thanks to our beautiful friend Marie Dobson aka Maka.

One beautiful day we were sitting around and chatting about were and what we want in our futures and exhibiting together we thought was a natural progression for our friendship. So here we are in the raw sharing our love with you.

We started out thinking we could have an exhibition in a month because the timing would be perfect for when Stefano and I had our last exhibition together, which Rere was apart of the tropical delights and they kindly played for us at the opening of the Pacific Sky exhibition.
Once we had decided to do this it was all on! We ran around trying to find venues and we thought we had cracked it at the Yellow House Cafe but it fell through at the last minute when we realised that they weren't willing to meet our needs. So we decided that the right venue would come and we went with the flow.

We wanted to make this exhibition just a little bit different and with all having the same view on the world and how we have so much stuff in it already we decided to use recycled materials. We jumped in the Merc and headed down to the local dump, were Rere's kind mother let us go through the tins of paint and pick what we wanted.

We then headed down to the local timber yards and went on the hunt for boards to paint on. We hit it lucky at Beatles where the lovely kind man gave us a massive stack of hardboard. Yes we were so excited to get started. We headed back up to my place and set up in the old Paint Pit studio and started creating a body of work to share with you.

Not a minute had passed by when the landlord popped his head in and said the place had to be cleared out because someone was moving in so we then moved all the gear into the Quayhole Gallery and took over the space until it was needed.

We had been talking about the Secret and stefano said he had never seen it before and I had only started to watch it but had fallen asleep so we decided that it would be a fantastic opportunity to watch the DVD while we painted. Stefano didn't do much painting as he was intrigued and it got him thinking about what he wanted to attract in his life.

The naming of the exhibition OUR LOVE was very easy because we are all very open and loving people the naming of the exhibition feel into place.

We all got distracted by our day to day lives and after talking to our wonderful Mike he was very keen on the idea to host the exhibition at Cracked Peper. He has been very kind and helpful with meeting to all of our needs. Thank you Mike and all the team at Cracked Pepper.
It's only a week away now and both Rere and I have been shocked about how low the pressure has been.I love the body of work I have produced, Rere is loving hers too and Stefano? I haven't seen him for a good 3 weeks and have total confidence that it will all come together and work out perfectly.

We have spent many hours together bringing this exhibition to you so enjoy viewing OUR LOVE.

Don't forget to share your love with others as people can never have enough love. We all have more than we need to share and keep for ourselves.

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...

Art Every Day Month Day 5 - A mellow day for me.

Last night I was thought it would be fun to do different things everyday, to keep my blog interesting. I had high hopes of doing my creativity outside today but because of a snotty nose and sore eyes, I won't be venturing out there. I am going to keep it pretty simple today and create fractals. What is a fractal? A  fractal  is "a rough or fragmented  geometric shape  that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," [1]  a property called  self-similarity . Roots of mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by  Karl Weierstrass ,  Georg Cantor  and  Felix Hausdorff  in studying functions that were  continuous  but not  differentiable ; however, the term fractal  was coined by  Benoît Mandelbrot  in 1975 and was derived from the  Latin   fractus  meaning "brok...
