The 16th d’Arcy Doyle Art Awards and Exhibition is on in Mudgeeraba 23rd June – 4th July and is set to draw through thousands of people.

The Landscape Art Awards were established to honour artist d’Arcy Doyle who passed away in 2001.

Committed to sport and renown for his murals, d’Arcy is a famous Australian artist who’s works included The Cricket Game, Hockey Players and Taking it Serious. All depicting typical and “quintessential” Aussie back yard sport which is the back bone of all Australian sport today.

The Cricket Game d’Arcy Doyle

After a successful life as an artist in Sydney, d’Arcy and his wife moved Mudgeeraba in the 1970s calling the Gold Coast home.

The annual exhibition is considered one of Australia’s premier art awards with the main landscape category offering a $10,000 first prize is supported by emerging artists, professional artists and those wanting a challenge. Other categories include Portraiture and Still Life.

Judges this year include Anthea Polson, Joel Rea and Sam Cretyon. All established and well revered for their contributions to Australian art. More on the judges here.

Selected artists, including the author of this piece, Samantha Beau, will be holding residencies over the 12 days. A residency gives the artist an opportunity to show case their works, talk with people and demonstrate their techniques. Sam’s residency is 130pm – 5pm on Saturday 3rd July. Be sure to pop by and say hello and watch Sam in action.

With over 500 works hung every year and $20,000 in the prize pool, this is an art show to explore and enjoy.

Opens 23rd June and finishes 4th July.

Petite Pieces Competition 2018

January 28, 2018 by lorenz Leave a Comment

A local art gallery hosts a petite pieces competition every year. I love the concept.

The submissions all must be under 40 x 40 x 40 cm.

I have lots of little water colours that I have done from all around the world that fit this brief.

These are my two selections for this years prize.

Two little water colours. Both painted with water colours when I was in Monaco for the Yacht Show.

Both framed and for sale, directly or through art gallery.

The Morris Art Prize 2018

January 27, 2018 by lorenz Leave a Comment

The Morris Art Prize is being held on the Gold Coast Sat 3rd – Sunday 4th March and Sat 10th – Sunday 11th March 2018.

The theme for the inaugural Prize is Brisbane to Byron.

A Gold Coast centric celebration of nature, culture, people and character of the region stretching from Brisbane in the North to Byron Bay in the South and the hinterland in the West. Relevance to theme with factor in the judging criteria.

This is my entry for 2018.

The title is Snapper Rocks.

Using a mixture of pastels, gouache, paints and laquer, I like the randomness and colours.

This part of coast is beautiful, panning back to Surfers Paradise.

The Gold Coast is a clean, friendly part of Australia where the hinterland meets the ocean. From whales in winter, to world class surfers in summer, the waters offer a magic play ground for animals and people.

I wanted to capture some of it’s beauty in my painting.
