Archibald Portrait - Rod Hardy

I met with Rod Hardy yesterday for a sitting for the Archibald.

He's a fascinating man - director of December Boys with Daniel Radcliffe, X-Files, Burn Notice, The Mentalist, and Battlestar Galactica to name a few. And he's mixed with some BIG names...Michael Caine, Pierce Brosnan, Henry Winkler. There's plenty more.

You can read all about him on his website http://www.rodhardy.com/index.htm

It's fascinating talking to him. We don't talk a lot about Hollywood, but rather life and all its strange synchronicities.

I'm very much enjoying the painting process and Rod is very generous with his time.

Painting on Air

Next Tuesday at 9 in the morning I will be 'Painting on Air' on 3MBS fm.

The amazing Tony Gould is going to improvise over a painting that I do.

We'll chat at the start and then paint and chat at the end to see if the experience was what we expected.

It will be a terrific challenge to get the painting done in such a short time limit.

I'm hopin to develop this into an exhibition if it's successful.

3MBS is on 103.5 fm in Melbourne, but you can stream it from the internet as well.
