Who: I’m just a painter. Australian, regional, unimportant.
Why: I’m studio-less which means working small, which in turn means more time to waste blogging, generally phoophing around.
How: Mainly oil and not so much with my fingers anymore.
When: Constantly, that’s my problem. Not a day goes by when I say “never again, I’m not painting anymore”

greetings from germany
Vielen Dank! (is that right?High school german). Cheers Sue
Hi I really enjoyed your blog, and your work is wonderful. Two sections I really like are your books section, and the shots of the studio. As an artists I always enjoy seeing other artists work spaces, and reading habits.
Congratulations
Stephen
Thanks Stephen-my 2 great loves are paint and books. I’m always curious about other artists studios and what they read. I was thinking of a new category on artists spaces so I think you made my mind up. Ta Sue
Thanks for swinging by my blog. I like your reference here of one of my favorite movies, Inside Man.
Thank you for your use of the word “phoophing.” This is my new favorite word.
Thanks Jazgraf-phoophing is also my favourite thing to do as well as an excellent word. Cheers Sue
Hi, thank you so much for checking out my (very) new blog. I will try and post a pic of my studio on your site too! Thank you for the inspiration. Cheers, Angela
Hi Sue,
I found your work while looking a for a birthday gift for my dad (for a significant number!). I really love the Black Cockatoo watercolour, is there any chance that this is for sale, or any similar ones? I would love to get in touch for some more information,
Regards
Lou
My apologies Sue,
I meant the oil on canvas Black Cockatoo, not watercolour- my amateur mistake!
Lou
Jazgraf phoophing? Sounds positively playful. Pls. read my book Paris Adieu for your artistic inspiration, Paintlater. Paris Adieu at http://amzn.to/sm1Uh3
I’d love to read your book. Who’d have thought that the Madonna Inn in San Louis Obispo could connect a painter to Paris? Adieu. Sue
Hi Sue
I have posted that amazing Judith Wright poem you told me about on the blog. It is just wonderful.
Thanks!!
Thanks Katharine, it is such a beautiful poem I re-read it on your blog. I will try and post the work that inspired me to create a piece for the Historic Houses Trust about the women of Meroogal. You seem to be in the same frame of mind as me at times, I was getting ready to blog about poetry, music and art being linked!
Great, Sue. I will look forward to it.
Thank you for taking the time to read my recent post, “Picture this: Australia’s green desert” – delighted you liked it! I’m off now to browse your blog…
Its lovely to see what you are up to – especially a fellow Australian. I didn’t know about the bears on trees!
Thanks for reading my post on 798. Glad you liked. Blogging is new so the encouragement is wonderful.

Hi Sarah, I looked at a photo of your bookshelf and it looked exactly like mine- bizarre- I have the same two art theory stacked like that on the shelf – only difference the Betty Churcher is still beside my bed. Cheers Sue
Sorry took a bit to get back to you – WP has been down for me – all fixed and happy now! Those two art theory books are gold for sure. You’ll probably have read ‘The Masterpiece’ by Emile Zola too – but if not – do have a look – its one of my favorites. Enjoy Betty Churcher – lovely drawings. Which reminds me I need to post some too
Loved your last post on Tapies – new info for me – thank you.
Sarah
Hi Sue,
I wanted to let you know that I have nominated your blog for the Versatile Blogger Award. I have found your blog insightful, your artworks inspiring and your quizzes a lot of fun! I hadn’t heard of the Bungendore Bears before – just drop bears as I grew up lol.
To accept the award you must make a post including the following information:
Nominate 15 fellow bloggers
Inform said bloggers about their nominations
Share 7 random things about yourself
Thank the blogger who nominated you
Put the Versatile Blogger Award picture in your post (this can be found on my blog or at http://versatilebloggeraward.wordpress.com/)
Regards,
Elaine
Aww Elaine, thank you!. I only just found this comment. I’m glad you like my ramblings especially when they are mainly about me, me, me. I’m not sure that I can get around to completing the tasks, I’m easily distracted. I’ve definitely been a bit lazy in the quiz area lately so I’ll try and get that happening this week. Cheers Sue
Not a problem, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog.
Thanks for dropping by my little mish-mash. Really pleased that you liked one my posts … especially because it brought me to your place for a reciprocal visit.
Pretty certain I’ll be regularly spending some time meandering around here.
max
Thanks Max, likewise. I loved the MCA too but haven’t had the chance to see The Clock yet, was glad to check out your review. Cheers Sue.
ooohhh I have to come back and read your posts! Thank you for liking my post. Did you see the new Hockney big coffee style book out on Hockney? A lot of ipad drawings but now he is doingmultiple videos!
No! Too many books not enough time. He is so prolific and I love how he continues to embrace the new. I saw an exhibition of his fax drawings that he was playing with when faxing was new.
Hi Sue. Couldn’t find a search box on you site. Where is Prickasso?
Here you go, be amazed. It is a reputable site too if you dare click the link.

Hi Sue,
I made a “Blogs You Need to Read” side menu, and yours is a blog everyone needs to read.
Drew
Oh thanks Drew that’s kind of you.I’m glad you like it, I’ll try and get a blogroll together sometime and try and return the favour. Thanks again Sue
Thanks for reading purelysubjective and thank you also for your kind words. Knowing others in the world that feel it this way is what carries the day for me. And even more so if they can see it through my art. Your work is lovely as well, and quite varied. Thanks for reaching out to say hi!
Hey Sue, You wrote on my NLA blog, but i didn’t see that the commetnshad closed off. I just posted a new one on a course in Buenos Aires. Thanks for reading.
Great! Look forward to reading it. Cheers
Hi, I’ve nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award!
http://wantoncreation.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/the-reader-appreciation-award-an-almighty-thank-you/
Hi Sue,
I nominated you for a one lovely blog award. You can check it out here: http://drewkail.wordpress.com/2012/06/10/one-lovely-blog-award/
Drew
Hi, I came across your blog whilst wandering…nice stuff
http://ijackrussell.wordpress.com/
cool, very cool, andy
Rat stay away from that sketch. It’s a nice one and it wouldn’t taste any good to you!
Hi Carla
I had 3 possums including a baby living in the studio and a lot of my sketches were on the floor, I would arrive there to little footprints in charcoal -never sure what they were. (that is the sketches and the footprints!)Cheers Sue
Greetings, Sue! I’ve nominated you for the “One Lovely Blog Award”. If you’re interested, you can read all about how to accept and pass it along to other deserving bloggers:

Sue, your work is gorgeously organic and beautiful.
I look forward to exploring your blog.
Cheers,
Karen
Thanks so much for stopping by Gallivance to read Those Bodacious Baltic Beasties. We really enjoyed the Art Nouveau animals and are happy that you did too. And we really like your use of “phoophing” – it’s our new favorite word!
All the Best, Terri and James Vance
Your works are very inspiring!
Thank You for stopping by and liking my art : )
I feel this way about writing! I’ve just always done it and always will, I suspect. Enjoying your blog.
Hi Sue. Love your blog.
I have nominated you for a Liebster Award, for cool and inspiring new blogs. See the recent post on my blog for more about what this means, and Liebster rules, etc. I see from a similar previous post regarding a “Versatile Blogger Award” that you may not be able to complete the chain-mail-like requirements of the Liebster. But do not be dismayed! I understand that you can still accept the “virtual Liebster Award” without fullfilling the personal quiz and other requirements. Just consider it a friendly pat on the back.
Hi Chris
Thank you, that’s really kind. I like the Liebster logo the best and today is Saturday and rainy so looks like a good day to lieb you back. I love your questions too. Cheers Sue.
hello and greetings from hood river, ore. thanks for visiting my site. love your insights and sharing the art! kathy
I like your entertaining blog. It would be a bit easier to reach if you included a link from your gravatar to your posts. If you’re interested, go to Dashboard, click Users, click My Profile. Then, at the foot of the page, in Links, write http://paintlater.wordpress.com
In the adjacent box write a few words (e.g. Step this way, or whatever). Hope this helps.
Thanks Ken. I hadn’t realized I was being so elusive. Will do. Cheers Sue.
Love your blog! It is so great to see your studio and sketch books, it is so inspirational watching an artist’s process and ideas. Thanks for sharing your work!
Thanks so much. My blog has sort of taken the place of a sketchbook, I love sharing it and its nice to meet other writers and artists and a bit of rush to see those orange stars when someone likes what you do. Ta Sue.
