Lovett has produced new DVD

Aussie artist John Lovett has just produced his latest DVD on his painting techniques entitled Splashing Paint . In this two-hour (wow!), Lovett shows how he works on 16 different projects, ranging from painting trees to creating atmospheric effects just like a professional artist.

According to the materials available, the DVD will help you avoid mixing muddy colors, make smooth, even washes, drawing clean, confident lines with a brush, and even choosing colour temperatures.

More Abdullah Ariff's Works Coming Home?

I have just been contacted by another owner of Abdullah Ariff's works entitled Storm. Received the email below from a reader named Jim in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, he must have misspelt his email because the reply bounced as the mail daemon informed me.

Hi,
I have got a picture by this artist called the storm signed and dated 1956
Please, where would be the best place to sell this. Can you help please. Thanks
Jim

Are there more Abdullah Ariff out there and is our National Art Gallery interested in acquiring them? These are national treasures and I am amazed no one from the gallery has contacted me so that I could forward the owner' addresses. Are we waiting for these works to be lost forever?
