'Goanna on Wood'

Hi All,

I am back from the Festival in the Northern Territory. It was great to meet some fantastic characters and beautiful people while I was painting at the Stockyard Gallery. I will be posting a few paintings soon and get the blog up and running with some new art for sale.
I will hopefully be attending the Olivetree markets in a couple of months as I need to get stocks up so I have something to sell...looking forward to that.
Thanks for being patient and keep an eye out...

Have a great day all.....Crofty

Just wanted to re post this painting 'Shifting Sands' as it was entered in the WAAP art competition. Didn't win but it was a great frill to have it hanging amongst some very talented paintings, photography and sculpture work. The whole experience to go to the opening of the exhibition was very exciting and to share the moment with my wife was special.

Congratulations to the winners and looking forward in entering another piece next year......
