Successful Happening of
My Art Space
2nd Juried Show

This has never
happened before...It was the
sky after a late afternoon shower. The vivid sky blue and
glorious clouds captured my unreserved attention. The
passing of time as though was halted by the harmonious
and yet soul-awakening visual symphony.

This was the repercussion from the recent painting trip to
Australia. I was surprise that the effects I experienced from
saw what inspired the impressionists – colour-filled
shadows. Shadows of the gracefully formed sand waves in
brilliant purplish-blue complemented perfectly with bright
peach yellow in the light.

The trip was a challenging one. Equipped with the arsenal
of space, form and colour, we were there to conquer the
magnificent Cape Schanck, to capture the rhythmic
formation of the rock platform while braving the strong wind,
and to be immersed in the romantic atmosphere at the
boat-filled piers at the Rocks and Portsea. These are just a
few of the many charms that have seduced artists to
Mornington Peninsula since the last century. It continues to
be the source of inspiration for many artists.

It is not a surprise that the Peninsula has since evolved into
a vibrant art scene. Artistic pursuit in the area is supported
by The Peninsula Art Society. The society serves to promote
artistic expression and make art more accessible to the
local community. Numerous ongoing activities are
organized for its 500 plus members from all walks of life.
We managed to meet some of the members at the society’s
studio. Rapport was formed, ideas were shared. We were
deeply inspired by their enthusiasm and passion for art.

It is truly a rewarding art-experience in Mornington
Peninsula!

-Vincent Chow, participant of our Australia Painting
Workshop Tour in March 2008
