We have decided to hold a free exhibition, titled No White Walls which reflects an earlier exhibition held a number of years ago before we were at Wallarobba.
The idea is to get as many members to submit works as we can, with the aim of covering the walls.
So look for works that you can submit, there is no charge, and works that have been previously exhibited are fine, and whenever you painted them is fine as well. Just make sure that they are presented to our usual standards.
The entries have closed but useful information is here.
This month we will go out into the bush, in Berowra along the fire trail at the end of Turner Road.

To get to the start of the fire trail, turn left off the Pacific Highway at the traffic lights in Berowra, into Berowra Waters Road. Follow this road for about 3 kms, going through two roundabouts, past a couple of schools, and up to a third round about by the Berowra Village Shopping centre. Berowra Waters Road turns left here, but you should go straight on to Turner Road. Just past the first shopping centre there is another set of shops called Berowra Market Place, with easy parking, Darcie’s Cafe with coffee, food and toilets. See photo 1 for the entrance. Keep on Turner Road for another kilometer to the end of the road.
When you get there, leave the car by the side of the road and take the fire trail. I have put photos of the entrance and the track you should take. It is about half a kilometer along the trail on a flat walking track to a good spot. It took me 6 minutes to walk there. Plenty of views of the valleys, trees, wild flowers .
The spot originally chosen here was Kalkari, in Bobbin Head but we were at the park for July, and the new park in Hornsby has been suggested.
So this month is Hornsby Park, Crusher Precinct.
This is a flat grassed area, with parking and toilets. There is a lookout over the old quarry with views of Old Man’s Valley. The Crusher Park is overshadowed with the old crusher works giving lots of interesting views from the car park. For the more adventurous there are lots of walks down into the valley, with lots of steps and hills.
The park is in Quarry Road, Hornsby, which is off Dural Street. Turn into Dural Street off Peats Ferry Road in the middle of the shops on the old side, and Quarry Road is off on the right hand side just after the car parks and shops.
The October workshop will be given by Paul Maklin. and will be on Acrylic Landscapes.
If you would like to attend this workshop, here is the SignUp register. The places are limited to 12 so if you do not pay within 7 days, we may remove you from the register to allow others to attend.
The August workshop will be Sculptured Textured Artwork by Tetiana Koldunenko. Tetiana ran a demonstration for us ealier, and this is a chance to have a go at this fascinating technique.
