Lake Attack

The Defence Force is running a charity event called Lake Attack. This raises money for four charities that specialise in helping kids.

Working for Mind Gallery, we held an art workshop at the defence force in Melbourne. The painting produced will go to be auctioned, with the proceeds going to charity. We hope it will go well. There was a preview dinner and initial response has been great.

One of the themes behind the picture was opening doors. So, we mounted the paintings on screen panels attached by hinges and added door handles on the two ends. Another theme was Australia, and keeping a part of the landscape. So, when all the pictures are joined, they create this rhythmic landscape with Australian oranges, reds and blues.

Here are some pictures of the painting once we put it all together in the studio. Its quite a big piece, so we couldn't get a good shot of it. However, we'll be getting pictures and post it as soon as they arrive.
