News from the Show
14-05-2013 
On the weekend of the 4-5th May, the annual Gosford Show was held. Vincent entered three pictures to the Art Show run by the Central Coast Art Society.  

Not from a Paint-Out
23-04-2013 
Of the two paint-out days we could attend, last week the weather was bad, and this week when we got to the location on a clear sunny day, the boat ramp scene did not inspire the artist. So he came home to paint instead...

It's Youth Week
09-04-2013 
So it must be time for a Youth Week exhibition. This year it is being held at The Entrance Gallery, cnr Battley and Oakland Avenue, The Entrance with a lunch Thursday evening and opening hours 11am-4pm Fri 12th April till Sun 14th April. Vincent has two pictures entered.

One for Mum
01-04-2013 
Mum has a birthday, too. Her request was something floral, although painting flowers are not Vincent's favourite thing. With a small bunch of flowers to work from, this is what he came up with.

One for Dad
29-03-2013 
As is now traditional, Dad expects a Vincent original for his birthday. 'What would you like Dad?' 'Something with you in it, Son.' So Vincent had a go at a self-portrait.

Kariong Fun Festival
17-03-2013 
Today was the Kariong Community Fun Festival at Kariong High School. Part of the day was an art show, and Vincent entered 3 pictures. 

Plot ideas
03-03-2013 
During the week Vincent had an opportunity to draw and paint something of his own choosing. This opportunity resulted in a scene from a possible Book 2 in his tales of Captain Ansile and crew.

Preparing for Easter
03-03-2013 
In the last week Vincent has been preparing some Easter cards. Here is the one based on John 20:26-29, where Jesus speaks specifically to St Thomas.

Inaugural Newsletter
02-02-2013 
In mid-January the first email Newsletter - to keep those interested in Vincent's process apprised on a regular basis - was sent. It will be issued 8 times a year.

Exhibition postscript
02-02-2013 
Vincent entered three paintings into the Summer Exhibition of the Central Coast Art Society (18-20 Jan). Of these, the one we were proudest of was entitled 'Me & My Nan'. 

Soon it will be Christmas
20-12-2012 
In the last week or so Vincent took his initial idea for a Christmas scene and developed it further. The original idea was done with a paintbrush alone, but the developed idea has the ink work and then the paint.

A special request
12-12-2012 
Last week someone who purchases Vincent's cards asked if he could do something with a grandparent and child, or grandparent and children.

2013 Calendar
12-12-2012 
Vincent has produced his first calendar, featuring artwork from several of his themes : local scenes, religious, his imaginative work, and one of the pictures he prepared for www.anecdotealley.blogspot.com.au .

Worth the wait
02-12-2012 
At long last, now that a few technical difficulties have been ironed out, the Framed and Visual Diary sub-sections of the Artwork page have been updated with more recent work.

Weddings
16-11-2012 
November seems to be a very popular month for weddings, and consequently for wedding anniversaries. Vincent's relatives are no exception.

A Windy Day
16-11-2012 
The weather seemed perfect for the Art Society paint-out on Tuesday, until the gusty wind was felt on arrival. As soon as an initial sketch was done and the first wash laid down, Vincent desired to head for home.

A great idea
03-11-2012 
Whenever the writing muse visits his father, Vincent gets to work producing an illustration to go with the prose on his father's blog.

Birthday greetings
15-10-2012 
The upcoming birthday of Vincent's grandmother was the inspiration for his latest picture.

Thinking ahead
07-10-2012 
It is only October but those who have family overseas are beginning to think about sending Christmas mail. So here is a new Christmas theme picture from Vincent...

At the paint-out
24-09-2012 
Vincent went to the Central Coast Art Society paint out last week, and produced this picture of the view from Koolewong looking towards Tascott.

Just for fun
24-09-2012 
This is a picture Vincent drew some time ago, but only recently painted. On another planet in another planet, would they build pyramids or something else?

Live Art 2012
02-09-2012 
On Saturday 1 Sep 2012, Vincent took part in the Live Art at the Umina Rotary Art Exhbition at BMW Worthington, Kariong. As reference material Ken Duncan provided a framed photograph of a seascape. 

Holiday inspiration
31-08-2012 
In recent times Vincent was a passenger on a rather long trip up the Pacific highway and down the New England highway. This new picture is a fruit of those experiences.

Lakes Artsfest 2012
22-08-2012 
The Lakes Anglican Artsfest is on this weekend 24-26 August 2012 at 274 Wallarah Road, Kanwal, and Vincent has entered one of his Gospel inspired pictures.

Struck by a mountain
22-08-2012 
While on recent travels Vincent visited Murwillumbah, a place where his maternal family has roots, and Mt Warning caught his attention.

Water, please
02-08-2012 
Vincent's aunt is having a special birthday very soon, and she requested a picture 'with water, please', and it needed to be ocean water and not waterway.

A first step on a long journey
25-07-2012 
After advice from a highly respected professional creative, Vincent has been working on a story, 3000+ words so far, which he will also illustrate. Inspired by some new colours in his watercolour collection Vincent did the first proper illustration for the book.

New card design
25-07-2012 
With two weeks of Vincent's cards on sale at Peninsular Office Supplies at Umina, there have been a pleasing number purchased. Thanks to all who bought some! A new design went on display yesterday.

A new venture
15-07-2012 
On Wednesday 11 July Vincent's cards, the secular ones, went on public sale at Peninsular Office Supplies at 296 West Street, Umina.

Just for fun
08-07-2012 
This particular picture has been waiting in the wings. Vincent did it during the Easter holidays. Only when someone we respect admired it, did we think about giving it a wider audience.

An unusual paint-out
04-07-2012 
The Central Coast Art Society did something a bit different for their regular Tuesday paintout on 3 July 2012. Instead of being outside in the open air, they were inside the Kincumber School of Arts building having a go at painting still life objects.

Flower inspiration
28-06-2012 
On Wednesday 20th June Vincent went to the second Central Coast Art Society workshop with Anne Brack. After doing two flower studies, he let his imagination loose and came up with this...

A good workshop
14-06-2012 
On 6th June Vincent went to the Central Coast Art Society workshop with Anne Brack. Some of them are better than others, and this one on watercolour was excellent.

New Paints to Try
15-05-2012 
Recently Vincent expanded his range of watercolour paints. To try them out he came up with this picture...

For Mother's Day
15-05-2012

Youth Week 2012

Vincent submitted three artworks to the annual Fusion Arts Youth Week exhibition for 12-24 year olds.

Golfing
12-04-2012 
Vincent's latest drawing from his visual art diary took on the unusual subject (for him) of golfing. It made us smile.

Blue Ribbon
22-03-2012 
Vincent's entry for the Agricultural Theme competition, Subgroup A5 14-16 years, at the 2012 Castle Hill Show won him First prize in that category.

Drawing Faces
18-03-2012 
During Term 1 Vincent has been doing a Visual Art class with Joanna Francis at the Youth Arts Warehouse Gosford. When they studied facial structure this is what Vincent came up with...

To honour Him
16-02-2012 
A picture like this has been in Vincent's paternal grandmother's side of the family for generations. So it was good subject matter for her birthday card.

On the harbour
15-02-2012 
To produce a wedding anniversary card, Vincent went through the swathe of photographs he took recently on Sydney Harbour and found subject matter.

On location painting
10-02-2012

Best of 2011

Just Watercolour
15-01-2012
