'On the Banks of the Brissie' - 4th and final artwork for the 'Brisbane Landmark Exhibition'

Finally!  The last painting is completed for the 'Tattersals' 'Brisbane Landmark Exhibition'.  I'm so bored with buildings...I don't want to paint another skyscraper for a while, that's for sure!  I'm not totally happy....it's dam hard to get the perspective right and the buildings straight.

Well...onto the next project now.  I need to complete 4 artworks again.... all with a local theme from the Moreton Bay Region.  These will be for the '15 Artists' Exhibiton at the Redcliffe Regional Art Gallery.

'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.

'Brisbane Central' - Work in Progress for the 'Brisbane Landmark Exhibition'

It's 'coming along' nicely...I thought I'd get bored with this one, but I'm actually enjoying it.

Brisbane Landmark Exhibition - 'Work in Progress'

Well...my next challenge is the 'Brisbane Landmark Exhibition'.
This exhibition runs in conjunction with the 'Tattersall's Landscape Art Prize'. Only fifteen artists are selected to participate in this exclusive exhibition.....this year, I have been fortunate enough to be invited to enter 4 artworks.
The exhibition is designed to display paintings which depict well known and maybe some lesser known Brisbane landmark icons.

So this is the first of my entries....it's still a 'work in progress'.  For those of you who don't know Brisbane, this scene is the intersection near 'Central Train' station in the city.  I haven't thought of a title as yet, but for now I will call it 'Brisbane Central'.

It's in oil, on a stretched canvas measuring 101 X 76cm.

I'm really pleased with the composition and how the under-painting has turned out.  It's certainly very different to my usual 'figurative landscapes'....it's a subject matter I've never attempted before.

The Brisbane Landmark exhibiton will be on display in conjunction with the 'Landscape Art Prize', in the foyer of Waterfront Place.  1 Eagle Street, Brisbane.  From Monday 13 September till Friday 24 September (7am - 6pm)
