Back to Cowra on a 40 degree day, the colours are so washed out with heat haze bliinding the horizon and frying the ground and road. Saw an emu at the top of Burley Jack, a hill on the east side of Cowra. They are comming in from the west as the country is drying out. The opening at Charles Hewitt Gallery went very well. I sold two pieces and another yesterday, got a call on the way home from Jacquie at the gallery to tell me the good news. The opening night was packed out, standing room only and the wine ran out as well as the champaign. Tim sold a couple of paintings and looks like picking up some more sales, his work looked great. Not sure if I have the skills required to work a crowd. Sold the work "From the Dry" to Heinz Wicki an major collector of contemporary Australian art, what a great person to buy one. Lives on the Harbour on the north shore somewhere. Couldnt talk with him much though because of the nature of the night, goiing deaf is a bugger in big crowd. Just sorting out my tools and gear. Carved a marquette from mount Gambier stone on Sunday. 'Henery Loves to Surf" this is for the Maroochydore Symposium.

Sore Fingers

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 13:00:00 GMT

Im working on a show with my brother Tim Hutchinson whos a painter. He’s doing the walls and I’m filling the floor space with sculpture. “Double Vision” is the name of the show and its at Charles Hewitt Gallery who have changed address to 335 South Dowling Street Darlinghurst. Opens on the 1st Feb at 6pm. My work is focusing on the drought. Im using marble and greywacky, a stone from Hillend in NSW. The marble is hard to finnish, to get out all the bruises, but the finished product is great. So sensual to work with. My fingers are sore from sanding detail in the last figure ive been making. Its called “I thought I felt some rain” got its hands on top of the head and a surprised expression. Tim’s work is landscape and street scape. Its great to share thet space with your brother. Hope the show goes well.
