14. The Squatters Residency: Quick sticks today

​My acrylic paints came out to today with the 25-postcard pack bought at the local art supply store. In the studio, at the kitchen table, in the sunroom, the bathroom and the big bed/studio room I have been encouraged by the imaginary creatures in the peeling paint and paper.  Some quick responsive studies resulted.  And then I stuck them up in-situ.  Totally refreshing after labouring over many of my other works here.
 
There was also a pop into The Glen Museum here at The Foundations.  Some gorgeous collection material piqued my interest as Fay leads me round.

Beside the Museum my heart was held still looking at the memorial of the forty-five workers who died just going to work at the cement works, associated quarries and mine. Awful.
 
I know the plan was to batten down the hatches, but I had to head away again with a quick visit home to see family that came with the trip to the local government election polling station back in the Bathurst Regional Council area.
