Today is the day! GAG and TAG are thrilled! Their combined exhibition SPRING IS COMING opens at 2pm today!
The artwork looks fabulous and we're looking forward to welcoming everyone.
Today we revisit 4 artists...PRISCILLA MUNDELL, PAT HINZ, SHIREE WENHAM and ROB RAYMOND.
Priscilla joined the Miles & District Art Group many years ago when she lived near Condamine. She began painting with TAG after relocating to Toowoomba.
She finds hills a challenge to paint after years of painting the flat Condamine River country.
Pat is a long time member of the Miles Art Group and has been painting with GAG for some time. She is inspired by her surroundings - and the small things - a fallen leaf or the touch of colour as a ray of sunlight hits ancient rocks.
Shiree says: "I love the beauty of my surroundings, birds and trees often feature in my paintings. Through my paintings, I hope to open the eyes of others to the beauty all around us."
Rob was born in Brisbane where he trained as an art teacher and was lucky to have William Robinson and Betty Churcher as tutors.
He says: "I draw on my immediate environment for my subject matter...from ever-changing Downs landscapes to the ancient rock-strewn landscapes of the Granite Belt and the subtleties of the landscape on the escarpment in Toowoomba."
SPRING IS COMING is showing at the Write Gallery - the Lighthouse 126 Margaret St Toowoomba, Cnr Margaret and Hume Sts.
It will be opened by David Iliffe at 2pm today - Saturday 3 August, all welcome, refreshments available.
Showing 2-22 August.
Gallery OPEN Tues to Sun 10am - 3pm.
Monday CLOSED.
WE'D LOVE YOU TO JOIN US!!
