Morning Song, ink on paper, 76 x 56cm , 2016
Friday night was the opening and announcement of the winner at the Rick Amor Drawing Prize at the Art Gallery of Ballarat. Peter Wegner took out the prize with his beautiful drawings of a friend who had gone into palliative care.
If you have ever seen anyone at the end of their lives, this work truly captures this time. The line work is delicate – it’s so beautiful and it’s so sad. You should see more of his works on paper at his website here: Peter Wegner works on paper
Today I got to take my little girl to see all the drawings, she was very keen to see mine even though she saw me make it. I felt like she was proud of me, that was super special.
The Rick Amor Drawing Prize is on until the 2nd of October.
Next week – National Works on Paper at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and then my kidelt turns 6!

A worthy winner. Sweet words about your daughter viewing your exhibit with pride. Your works looks intensive, well done. I was another finalist but couldn’t make the opening, next time hopefully. Good luck for the future.
