Dads paintings

I thought I would share some of my fathers paintings with you (R V Hodgman). I wanted to have a reminder of some of his works as my grandfather was also an artist but his paintings are mainly in private collections and there is no photographic record of his collective works. I was able to take photos of these ones, maybe later I can share others if I get photos of them as well.

As with all art everyone likes something different and my favourites are usually not the same ones as my Dads favourites. I hope you enjoy looking.

 I have this self portrait, he sits at the head of the table and keeps an eye on us all.

sculpture trail

It is that time of the year again and I headed down the channel with the boys to have a look at the sculpture trail at Birches Bay and then have lunch at the Pepperberries café. here is just a highlight of some of the art works we saw.

art exhibition opening

Today I went to the opening of the Tasmanian Art Groups exhibition. It was held at the Botanical gardens and the theme was four seasons. It was great to see a gallery filled with such diverse and talented works.

This stunning work is by my father, called four seasons.

Dyeing divas

Google has don it again. I will try and return these pictures but These are done by Carol Kingston. Natural dyes on paper. I am so sorry for all the head on side to enjoy these but when I first saw these I was totally taken by then. The photo doesnt really show the texture of these pieces. Visually stunning and I could not believe it was paper they had been painted on. There is just so much texture in them. I a huge favourite of mine, and also for my dad.
