Accepted! Bald Archy 2023 Touring Exhibition

After a few years in abeyance, the Bald Archy is back! My entry “Wayne the Good Shepherd” has been accepted and will tour with the exhibition through the coming year. See https://baldarchy.com.au/ for more information on touring dates, venues etc.

The shepherd is calling – come start anew:

I have rugby league’s best positions for you!

Much success I do promise –

the deals are great commerce!

Just sign all these contracts we’ve set out to view.

 

As with all religions, the promises abound:

have trust in my record, my fame is renowned.

Sainthood this brings –

of league we’ll be Kings!

The Dolphins are ready; prepared is the ground.

 

Come all you who labour and toil and do try:

across all the lined and grassed fields we will fly!

This new R.L. team

all others will cream!

Tell your agents to hustle and with us apply.

 

I am the Good Shepherd – come join my flock:

I’m back at the helm and those critics we’ll shock!

Take up my yoke –

I’m such a good bloke!

Your prayers will be answered by me – solid Rock.

Drawing on Canvas

This is the work from the one-day drawing on canvas (animal) workshop last November down in NSW.

As well as using the graphite drawing of the dingo in the collage, the larger dog on the chain was drawn directly onto the canvas with charcoal.

The title “Lonesome and Blue” is taken from the piece of music also collaged into the work.

This is available as a giclee reproduction in any size, on paper or canvas, with a certificate of authenticity through Art House Reproductions www.buyartnow.com.au/tricia-reust
