A couple of night time critters

We do have small cane toads here, which instantly get hit on the head by Tony - they could kill Joey with their poison, but we also have little green frogs, and small geckos.
The green frog, the other night, was sitting on the back door step, and when I went to let Joey out, she was afraid of it - all of 3" long, and she went and hid behind the wall to the lounge and peeped around the corner. Last night it was there again, so I took a photo of it.

The little cream coloured gecko was on the outside of the bathroom window, so this is the underside of the gecko!!

Painting room all set up now

What was the garage, and still is really as there is space to drive the car in at night, is now my painting room. I have work to do for Stirling Fine Art Gallery in W.A. which I have been doing, also done some smallish oil paintings, one of which is alright!! It is of the cane fields here.

2 Michelle Drive, Point Vernon

Today we had an inspection of the empty, very clean house, before we get the keys tomorrow. So while we waited for the agent i took these photos. There is also a resident frog in the letter box!! This last view is looking across the road - we are on a corner. All the electric wires are underground. Very wide verges to the road.

By rhe seaside at Point Vernon

This afternoon we went down to the boat ramp at Point Vernon, tide was out though, but Joey and Tony had a go at fishing, which I sat on a rock and read and watched these birds! Pelican and Ibis, and the view of the boat ramp from my perch on the rock. Very distant hills are on Fraser Island. And this is just down the road from the house we will be moving in to on Thurday.

Francis family get together

My ex, Allan and his wife, Mandy were at Jimmy and Bel;s as he was wedding photographer to their friends Kath and Mick, so we went down to the Sunshine Coast to catch up with them. So here are a few photos. We all get on well together, which is the way it should be.
This is our last camp site before we move in to our house next Thursday, November 1. And this is our 'new' Kia Sportage car!!

Whales in mixed media

Well, I don't know how these will go, only small works in matts of whales, as whale pics sell well, but all the others are traditional or photos, so I will test the water!!

I haven't got all my painting equipment or bits and pieces so have had to use what I could get, but anyway, here they are for you to see -whether you like them or not!! A hot day today - 27 - just lovely - a day for wearing short shorts,, walking on the beach, painting in the painting shed, and then sitting in the shade. Who could ask for anything more?
Thats Fraser Island in the background.

Contemporary Art Gallery

At last I have found a contemporary art gallery at Maryborough, called Alpha 31 Art Gallery & Sculpture Garden - www,alpha31artgallery.com.au.

I managed to take photos of a couple of the sculptures by Monica Bayer, one is a mosaic dragon with leadlight eyes. I will see about exhibiting there,but if she has your work, she doesn't like you to be in any other galleries on the Fraser Coasgt! So will think about this. But here they are.
