10" Porcelain tile painted by Filipe

This 10" porcelain tile was painted by Filipe in my class at the APAT Sydney school held 2 hours bus ride from the centre of the city in a delightful manor in the town of Bowral.    This is 2 fires ..... it took Filipe about 10 minutes for each fire and then it was my commission to copy it on my own.     It took me nearly all day to do my fires!!    So really, my plate (posted below) took me 2 days to paint!    

Poppies painted by myself, 2 fires

This is a 10" plate which I painted in Filipe's class at the APAT Sydney school which was held in a beautiful manor in Bowral, 2 hours bus ride from the centre of Sydney where the exhibition was held.

Close Up!

Close up of what I posted below.

Hopefully this will show a little of the work.    Each of the dishes were different . . . . similar, but different!

Exhibition Pieces for Sydney APAT 2013

For some reason, my pictures have turned out tiny and they don't appear to be able to be enlarged so you can see all the work on these three dishes.    I am sorry ..... and I am not sure how to f ix the problem!
The largest of the dishes (12") sold, and the middle dish (10") I have promised to a friend.   That leaves me with the smallest of the dishes from the set but I am sure I can find a good home for it.    Would you like it?

The exhibition was marvellous;  so much inovated and beautiful work.    Was a feast for the eyes!
I attended a school which was held in Bowral which was a 2 hour bus trip from the centre of Sydney, and this proved to be a very worthwhile time.    My class tutor was Filipe and sometime during the next few days I shall post what he painted for me, and what I painted unaided in his class.

Busy Time . . . . .

No new posting for a few weeks, so please come back later.

Last Monday I arrived home (in Tauranga, New Zealand)  from being part of a Mission Team in the Pacific Island of Fiji, and this Tuesday I am flying out to Sydney to attend the APAT Exhibition and school to follow.   It will be near the end of October before I can post pictures of my exhibition pieces, plus the piece I painted in the school.    Exhibition pieces cannot be shown anywhere before the official opening . . . . although my work has been finished for a few months now, it wouldnt be correct to post them on my blog yet. 
No serious painting has been done for a month now.  :-(     I miss it :-)

So watch  this space!
