“Sensational” from the series “The Greatest Show on Earth”.

The rumors are indeed true! Highly skilled, respected and prolific artist Rhonda Goodall-Kirk is putting on a two day (I know, it’s far too short!) retrospective show over at Kipl. This will be a rare chance to see many early paintings from her extensive back catalogue alongside recent works. What I am personally quite excited about is that due to her already mentioned prolific nature, Rhonda consistently paints more paintings than she can possibly hang for her theatrical themed and emotional shows… This means there will be many works which have previously not been publicly displayed! And on top of that there will be paintings from a never exhibited series based on Euripides’ “Bacchae”! Very exciting indeed!!

Having been following Melbourne artist Heidi Yardley‘s work since viewing her amazing drawings late last century, I was quite excited upon hearing she has a new exhibition of oil paintings opening at the end of the month. The show will run from September 30th to October 17th at Scott Livesey Galleries (located Armadale, Victoria), with the opening night celebrations being held on Wednesday October 7th between the hours of 6 and 8pm. If you can’t wait till the 30th though, head over to the gallery’s website for a preview. I highly recommend everyone get themselves over to the show once it opens!
