I promised I’d begin my “new” blog by telling you about the event I participated in this November. (photos at the end)

About 2 months before, an art community that I subscribe to suddenly decided we should all do this together, set the date for mid-November, wham. Er, um, whut? I’m not ready for that. I don’t have the space to do that. I live out in the middle of nowhere and it will be dark and cold. I don’t have enough paintings to show. They’re not good enough.

I love circles more than other shapes (maybe that’s why my brain tends to run in that direction as well, or is it the other way round? Ahem, anyway…..) so I’m always interested in circular artwork by other people too, no matter which medium. Circular flowerbeds, shamanic drums, circular shapes in nature.
So I just wanted to share this Australian gallery project on the theme of Circles. Cool, colourful, circular stuff!

Jeg fik lige lyst til at dele et link til et galleri i Australien hvor temaet er “Cirkler”. Det er min yndlingsform, så det interesserer mig altid hvad folk kreerer på den front.
