Big Thanks to all those who attended my showing at the Yerington Arts Centre 19th March

Big thanks to all who came to my show. You made it a successful event indeed. Special thanks also to my hubby and 'go for all' Mernie and to Roy and his staff for the many and varied things they do!


 Mixed Media Paintings upstairs. This gallery space is light and rooming. The whole Art Center/Restaurant has a positive energy and stands as a real gem for the community out here in the high desert! Love it and thank you Roy for all your work here.

 My BIG piece! Perfect spot!(Click on images to enlarge)

 Here I am performing The Man from Snowy River by Banjo Paterson. Haven't done this for a while and didn't fluff it up! 'Ow about that! I know I look like a bit of a dork. Any of you who remember my previous life as a storyteller might recognise a bit of 'Fanny Leadbottom' here!!!God forbid she may be on her way back!

 Here is the best part of the show. My friends and support! Those faces are what it is all about.Love you all and thanks for being there!

Here they are again. Beautiful people grow wild out here in the high desert!

There you have it. The show is down now but I do have my signature print 'Splosh' for sale and a few original peices in the print bin. Please drop in to this Art Center on California Street right next to the high school in Yerington. They are super friendly, have a wonderful restaurant with delicious healthy meals (very reasonably priced) and a gift shop with creations you wont find anywhere else! Oh, and I also have work in The Art House in Nevada Street a few streets back. If they are not open, give them a call. Their phone number is on the porch and Susan and Rod are lovely people.More very beautiful paintings, jewellery, ceramics and much more.
Cheers for now and please email me and let me know you got this. Just a G'day would be fine. xxoo Ronnie, ronnieroo@hotmail.com

Please click on image to enlarge.
Here is some info about my up and coming show in Yerington, Nevada.It is up now with the reception on Sat.19th of March 1-4.Yes, I know it's a bit topsy turvy with the reception at the end of the showing. 
A lot of you wont be able to attend but please just be thinking of me while I recite The Man From Snowy River at the Reception at 2 pm. Haven't done that for a while so it might be interesting! LOL
Thank you so much Stephanie Doane for putting this flyer together. A real nice job!
Hope this finds you all bright eyed and bushy tailed.

January Lots of things happening the studio.

 Goddess?

 I will be having my work shown at the Dini Center for the Arts in Yerington, NV from February 13 th to my presentation on the 23rd February.I'm not sure how much longer after that it will be there but I will find out. The Art House on Nevada Street in Yerington is also having an open day on the 4 th and I should have some work there too. (This is a great little gallery so take a look regardless.) Here are some of the works in progress taking shape up in the dome studio.I'm working on a name for my show. I'm thinking Abstract Expressions with Goddess and Crone

 Crone Woman.

 Dancing Goddess

 Crone of the Blue Ugg Boots.

 Large abstract piece. Still going.

oops!Sideways detail..

New and large works

I have about 8 pieces going right now but this one is taking central stage.
Thinking big now. This canvas is about 8' by 4'. See ladder. I'm going to try to document its progress as it evolves into something in is own right. Come with me on the journey.
Stage one..... Five floating blobs of various sizes and analogous colors on the warm side(Acrylic.)

 Introducing some grids still floating and whirling around. Introducing aslo a more complimentary color on the cool side.Layers developing. I will now start to look for and define some edges. I'm also working hard trying not to fall off the ladder!

Not much change here. Close examination will however reveal some details i was meaning to add last but just couldn't resist the comic relief.Lots more to come!Click on images to enlarge.

I have started a small art group here in Smith Valley (SVAG-tentative title) and I would have to say its one of the best things I've done in a long while.Right now we are meeting at each others studios, sharing ideas and giving each other amazing support. We, together 'will move mountains!'
