Wildside festival event blown away


The Wildside "Art in the Field" event that was to be held last Saturday had to be canceled due to the second dust storm to hit the area in two weeks. I still managed to get up to Tea Gardens on the Sunday for an early morning Field trip and to do the second day with Julianne Gosper.

Even though the wind was still blowing a gale, there was still a good gathering at the Hawks Nest Surf Club. What a beautiful spot overlooking Boughton Island. Julianne showed us some wonderful techniques and everyone went away inspired.

Margaret Gooding, an active local Natural History artist is taking on the Wildside Drawing workshop as from next year. She has also done the Natural History Illustration Degree and is completing her Honours year this year. Margaret came along this year to help and see how it all works. Best of luck Margaret.
