She is very keen on photography and is a Photoshop Wiz.
Nanna requested to see her latest things so here's a snapshot...
Surreal Seal...
Her Black and White version was a successful entry in the Mosman Photography Prize...
I love this one though...
This is one was painted this week and snapped up by my son for his bedroom. He actually has the largest art collection in the house! Jared has a keen interest in art and really likes his walls covered in it.
An environmental sculpture... I promise I'll get all the names of these pieces later today and edit this post...
She was selected to go on the Arthur Boyd Art Camp this year and this was her major work. It proved a bit of a problem but a great lesson in fact. Maddison LOVES abstract and pop art. She is also headstrong and a typical teenager. Everyone at the camp was encouraged to paint in Boyd style (pretty traditional landscape, slightly impressionist I suppose) ANYWAY Maddison was heavily into abstract this year and her vision was not a Boyd knock off... She said that while it is true there are beautiful streams and typical Australian bush... the thing that surprised her was the large amount of farmland areas and in fact the lack of trees and the effect of humans on the bush they where there to paint...
This is the countryside as she experienced it...
And I LOVE it! She was disappointed as it was completely different to everyones' traditional paintings of streams and bush, she thought she had made a mistake, I say she was the only one who got it 'right'. She created a piece of artwork straight from her heart, she used her head as well in thinking about what she was painting and she employed her favoured style brilliantly.
