Art Club 9

Welcome to Art Club.  Feel free to slip into your weekend here with me and other art lovers - the low hum of conversation, maybe a latte, maybe a lovely chardonnay, maybe even a touch of jazz in the background.

Mmm, nice.



Sidney Nolan, Woman In Billabong 1957 - Tate London

Again, I love the muddiness of this piece, so much more blatant than After Glenrowan Siege, especially in the bottom half of the canvas.  As for the top part, I love the blackness, and I love the way it looks almost an etching.  And the woman in the billabong herself, she seems to have been created with casual, nonchalant brushstrokes - I adore the splash of blonde hair.

FYI, billabong is an Aboriginal word for watering hole
