THE Anglican Parish of Kangaroo Flat\u2019s winter art show is on again.<\/p>\n
Held in spring last year after a previous cancellation, the three-day event will showcase just under 200 works from about 60 artists.<\/p>\n
Prizes are up for grabs in categories of oil, acrylic, watercolour, and other media, with works to be judged by local art veteran Geoff Paynter.<\/p>\n
Paynter has judged and entered in Rotary art shows across Victoria and is a regular exhibitor at the Bendigo Art Show during Easter.<\/p>\n
He said he always enjoys entries that push the boundaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome artists believe if they can reproduce reality that\u2019s good, that\u2019s what their striving to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like creativity, I like people who\u2019ve taken a subject and treated it creatively. That\u2019s a feature of my judging.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paynter said he\u2019s received plenty of invitations to judge community art shows, and it\u2019s great to see that casual artists have a regular avenue to exhibit their work and learn from others again.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs an artist, when we go to an art show, you always see things which you\u2019re attracted to and you think that\u2019s a great concept, a great idea and interpretation\u2026 when you see the work of others you learn from it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The winter art show is on from 10am to 4pm this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $5 per person and children under 16, accompanied by an adult are free.<\/p>\n
Winners of the categories will be announced in a special presentation on Friday at 7.30pm. Tickets for the evening are $10, cash only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
