My parents are up from Melbourne at the moment, so, amidst my work, I'm trying to squish in fun things to do with them. On Wednesday we went for a bike ride to check out some of the new Street Art in Newcastle {my latest obsession}. I love what's happening in Beresford Lane down in the West End. This piece is one of my faves - the exuberance and ridiculousness is just wonderful.
Today we're off to the Art Gallery where I'll be interviewing photographer Bill Henson, which I'm both nervous and excited about. I remember studying Henson's work way back when I was majoring in photography at Uni and being astonished by his painterly photographs. My parents will be coming along and checking out the four exhibitions on display at the Gallery while I'm being all journalistic.
Tonight my gal has a school dance, so I'll take my parents along to Darby Street After Five where we'll do some Christmas shopping, check out some of the fab buskers and grab ourselves something to eat.
Tomorrow it's Olive Tree Markets for more shopping, then my gal's ballet concert in the afternoon - before I head off to a friend's birthday party! Woo hoo!
Have a fab weekend everyone.
My daughter painted part of the mural you featured on here, I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how fabulous! I thought I'd taken a shot of the daisies that chain away over the rollerdoor but apparently not. What a shame, I'll have to go back again...
DeleteBeautiful mural! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it delicious?
DeleteIt's just a party on a wall, so joyous. Hola to your folks! x
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely x
DeleteThat is some mural and I think the idea of decorating the streets is fabulous. I often wonder to myself if you ever stop still for more than a moment. Hope your weekend turns out as wonderful as you want it to which I am sure it will. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't often stand still Mimsie - there's so much to see and do! xx
