I feel like I’ve been working on this for so long, but much
of that was the usual lag time in between the finishing and actual release
date. In that space a month feels like about six. <o:p></o:p></div>

I knew the tune, but before this but had no idea that it had
lyrics, and absolutely no idea that it had Hal David lyrics. (If you aren’t
sure of his song list just Google it, there will be more songs there that you
know than you think.)</div>

When it comes to talking about my artwork, words have a
tendency to escape me. So here I’m going to tell you how the endpapers/first

Until I finally had this . . .<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And now all I had to do was add the animals.<br />
<br />
I finished off the backgrounds of all the pages before I added the animals, while it meant that a few things got painted over it made for a better image in the end.<br />

</div>This is one of my paintings for the Kish + Co launch exhibition that was held last Friday at their Hawthorn studio. It was a fun night with lots of great and very talented people. I feel quite lucky to have been asked to be a part of this show, the people over at Kish + Co are just awesome.<br />

Curated by Jess Perlen, the show includes photographers Daniel Linnet, Otilee and Ron C. Moss and illustrators Brendan Ninness, Cally Bennett, Jane Reynolds, Jodee Taylah and Rhiannon Mowat, who have provided works that explore these themes.</span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ArialMT;"><i><br />

The result from that wondering is the painting you see before you now.</div>Rhiannon Mowathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18154271241913950120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077422980380203462.post-18954104269942551142010-09-24T19:23:00.000-07:002010-09-24T19:41:30.043-07:00Exhibition set-up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1oz6iZQ4kxqq5FHT95J1qXPrRes3_hQEr_g7ypttRWwLi0kmEVXH4n78KhFmK4CMA0VRrEjPs07qLkuMtIBTi8t67e6xIEKoEvoOye6-csv7KJ2gE8-gMHWzFzDRX97R2HR6cMPsowCv/s1600/stsetup4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1oz6iZQ4kxqq5FHT95J1qXPrRes3_hQEr_g7ypttRWwLi0kmEVXH4n78KhFmK4CMA0VRrEjPs07qLkuMtIBTi8t67e6xIEKoEvoOye6-csv7KJ2gE8-gMHWzFzDRX97R2HR6cMPsowCv/s400/stsetup4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520673067550248178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi144TvKiSKXVpwj3SOTMmOegwKrolBON9FnhzxR6ci9d6iJ9BwCx6fnTbah28IyyNAxYfw4BEbSsSG8I1h8N6BaL23nWkEi8X_IVf4_7Ea5R9XvtK28TaqKizhdWaXtI-j7-j31Uvp1CNB/s1600/stsetup3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi144TvKiSKXVpwj3SOTMmOegwKrolBON9FnhzxR6ci9d6iJ9BwCx6fnTbah28IyyNAxYfw4BEbSsSG8I1h8N6BaL23nWkEi8X_IVf4_7Ea5R9XvtK28TaqKizhdWaXtI-j7-j31Uvp1CNB/s400/stsetup3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520673052344619762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1z31fOB45OLyTZQTGNS0LvnFsddoNrn5KJSRQEY_wiMwa1ngCDB7JIKvgXwWJy_VcYwUCIfhogKGG9LSxF2kyKpTxrvsMqvIufyowsr7LXeGtt8QMzKaJEAEDrmqXesc54hWW0uwHnDWT/s1600/stsetup2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1z31fOB45OLyTZQTGNS0LvnFsddoNrn5KJSRQEY_wiMwa1ngCDB7JIKvgXwWJy_VcYwUCIfhogKGG9LSxF2kyKpTxrvsMqvIufyowsr7LXeGtt8QMzKaJEAEDrmqXesc54hWW0uwHnDWT/s400/stsetup2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520673048496432898" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWBG3xFR7jT4_MxZmoLKSogQ4BveBlG7lg57KjVDvdpkZgc_YA98bhQpIT3dIjwZXyaxIR9XXKSy6DP6N2O3mx2eHT5AA6opI1PIzAHt6vdIX9jrw6nEU-G8idB7-fTFwuRb-fBKzrPfEn/s1600/stsetup.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWBG3xFR7jT4_MxZmoLKSogQ4BveBlG7lg57KjVDvdpkZgc_YA98bhQpIT3dIjwZXyaxIR9XXKSy6DP6N2O3mx2eHT5AA6opI1PIzAHt6vdIX9jrw6nEU-G8idB7-fTFwuRb-fBKzrPfEn/s400/stsetup.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520673045303138898" /><span><span></span></span></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>The show is off and running.
