I love the colours changes that olives go through as they ripen, and I love this little pot I brought back from Florence. In viticulture the term veraison is used to name the onset of berry ripening and the colour changes that herald this. I'm not sure if this term can be applied to olives.
I have a passion for contemporary realist art and owe much of this to Australian artist Lance McNeill whom I studied under whenever I got the chance in the '1990's and 2000's. Between 2009 and 2015 I had the great fortune to participate in some Summer Workshops delivered by the Angel Academy in Florence. In 2019, I undertook some online landscape painting modules delivered through Deborah Paris's Landscape Atelier.
I offer monthly classes to share the joy and learnings in regional Victoria.
