'High on the Dunes' Figurative Oil Painting by Amanda Russian

I struggle sometimes to title my paintings.  Do any other artists have the same problem?  I might be creative on the canvas, but I don't feel very 'inventive' when it comes to a 'title' for my creations..  Sometimes, something will come to me when I'm painting...but not always.  I guess the majority of my paintings are very similar....figures on the beach....figures in the bush....etc....gosh, I'm making my artwork sound boring aren't I?
Anyway....wasn't really happy with the title of my latest artwork, but here it is.....

'Brisbane Central' - Finished Artwork for the 'Brisbane Landmark Exhibition'

It's finished!  Yay!!  The 'first piece' all finished for the Tattersal's 'Brisbane Landmark Exhibition'.  Just 3 more to be completed. 

It's an oil on canvas measuring 101 x 76cm.  The remaining 3 canvasas aren't as large, so shouldn't take so long to finish.

Ron Mueck Exhibition-Gallery of Modern Art

Today I took my daughters to see the 'Ron Mueck' Exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane.  Wow!...absolutly fabulous!  These sculptures are so real.  We stood there staring at them...waiting... expecting them to move...they just looked so life like.  My daughters wanted to touch them...feel their skin (but of course they didn't)...they looked warm and alive.
