Agenda GM term4- 7Oct14

2014-15 schedule as at 7Oct

The following is an article submitted by Ken.

Kylie Farrelly

The Coochiemudlo Art Group has opened its doors to local Artists wishing to
join with them in Kylie Farrelly’s Tutoring Workshop Classes being held on
March 25 and 26 at the Coochiemudlo Island Community hall. Places are
naturally limited by the space available and pre booking is essential.

Kylie works mainly in acrylic, with which she incorporates a variety of
media to enhance the textural outcome of her work. She uses a bold colourful
palette to capture the energy that shines from her style of painting. Her
use of tone in her compositions creates a sense of depth and perspective
within her work. The paint is applied in layers of pure colour often using
colours that presenting a Naïve quality .

Kylie’s collection of works feature iconic places and views. Fun, quirky and
yet strangely familiar, the paintings take you on a visual journey around
our urban environment. Many of her latest works focus on activities we
encounter in our daily lives with an emphasis on looking anew at familiar
scenes to draw out more meaning than might be experienced by looking at
scenes from only a conventional point of view.

Operating from her studio in Teneriffe Kylie’s work in paintings of Brisbane
city has become well recognised and appreciated. The opportunity of
presenting her approach to art in the Redland city and Bayside context is
one the Coochie Art Group has been keen to explore for some time and is
overjoyed that the arrangement has been made to bring Kylie’s painting style
and our Bayside urban life style together.

Bookings can be made by contacting  Hilary Wakeling . 0448 888 524 or
hilarywakeling@bigpond.com or Pat Marini 07 3207 0456 or

Lets make this lunch a special send off for Jackie, who if you don’t already know, is leaving the district and will be no longer able to come to the group.  But don’t expect any fancy dish from me, I only have a kitchen because it came with the house.

Happy Australia Day!

Hope you have a you-beaut, ripper, bonza, no-worries day! Crikey!

Cheers,

Hilary.
