New easel





As part of my ArtStart grant I bought a new easel. It is fantastic. It came in pieces so I had to oil it and put it together.

Another artist has moved into the spare rooms so I won't be all by my lonesome anymore. I am not sure if he has a website but his name is Edward.

Still doing heaps of work for upcoming shows and competitions. you can see what I have done on my website: www.suebeyer.com.au and keep up to date by signing up to my newsletter here

Busy

medium: Acrylic and posca pen on canvas
size: 120 x 120cm
year: 2011


At the moment I am busily making new work for 2 shows in February. The Relaunch show at Jugglers in the Valley and the Brisbane Emerging Artists festival Check-in exhibition. I am very excited to be in both exhibitions.

Stretched my first canvas at the studio yesterday on the floor. I think I will need another bench to do this job as it was quite difficult doing it on the carpet this way :-) i managed to get it done but it probably would have been easier if it was a wooden or concrete floor. I used to do it at my old studio on the concrete floor no problems. The staple gun I got worked well so I was happy about that.

Doing some planning with Emma Lindsay today for our exhibition in August. That will be a good one! I will be talking about this one on my blog.

I also got a copy of MYOB so I can start entering all my receipts into the program. This will help with BAS and end of year tax return. I have got my head around most of it but am getting my friend Jen Upton to help me set it up properly :-) She has started her own business doing book keeping so if you need someone she is good.

So much to do! Got to organise business cards soon too...

Back to work

Went back into the studio today after having a break. I have lots of new ideas that i want to try out. I need to make a few good paintings by the end of this month as I am participating in the Brisbane emerging arts festival in Feb and an exhibition at Jugglers, as well as an exhibition at Pine rivers art gallery! Lots of work to be done :) I am so excited about this year!!
