I have finally finished building and painting my first boat! We christened it “The Puffin” last weekend and took her out for a spin around Balmain. Miraculously she went forwards not downwards! Time to celebrate!

Earlier this month Annalisa and I headed down to Arthouse Gallery in Rushcutters Bay to check out our friend Joel’s art exhibition after work. We swanned in and were instantly handed a glass of champers and blown away by vast splashes of colour and dynamic brushstrokes covering large canvasses, not to mention the sheer number of people there!

The exhibition closely followed current affairs and news events; with conflict, themes of wealth, political unrest, the GFC and poverty all featuring conceptually in Joel’s art. His work is abstract and open to different interpretations; we noted some strong avian references (but I’m afraid of birds so that could’ve just been my reading!).

Joel’s work is up there with the greats and would not look out of place in the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. We wish him the best of luck and are very much looking forward to the next installment! If you are in the area, pop into our studio and check out the huge canvas Joel created for us a few years back entitled “i think i ate the blue crayon”.

My lovely friends treated me to a cookery course for my Birthday which I went to last night – I had such a great evening that I thought I would share this wonderful place with you all! I hopped on a bus to the beautiful historic heritage-listed Italian villa in Annandale, and there we began creating our pasta. I was taught how to ‘dance with the dough’ by the fabulous Luciana Sampogna, a graduate from the famous Simili Sisters’ school in Bologna. We then filled the pasta, drank wine, watched cooking demos and then the best part…scoffed it all at the end in a delicious four course meal! Perfect. It makes a lovely gift for foodie friends.  http://www.cucinaitaliana.com.au/
