A Starr Shines above City Hall

hey everyone this is a little blurb about my recent city hall painting.!!!!!!!!!

BRISBANE- April 15, 2013. The auction of an artwork by Brisbane based artist Starr, has raised $10,000 towards the Brisbane Lord Mayors Trust at the Gala Ball held on April 13.

Specially commissioned by the Brisbane City Council, the acrylic on canvas painting simply entitled 'Brisbane City Hall' features the newly renovated City Hall depicted in the vibrant expressive colours for which Starr has become renowned.  Council's decision to choose Starr to document the historic building was rewarded when bidding for the work reached the total of $10,000.

Starr has recently had a sell-out exhibition at Brisbane's Red Hill Gallery and expectations were high for this unique portrait of the Brisbane icon.

All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Lord Mayor's Community Trust, assisting various Brisbane charities in improving the lives of our less fortunate citizens.

 OHHHHH and here is a picture of the lord mayor and his lovely wife with my painting . The gala ball from the looks of thing was the brisbane event to be at . Shame i was not there as i just love a dress up  but clearly my painting made its own statement .x

storage of art my personal tips.

 Having a rather huge art collection nowdays i can tell you looking after it can be quiet the storage drama . I have all my own paintings and sketches that i have kept dating back to the age of five did i not mention i was a child prodigy way before it was trendy.lol  Not to mention also having being a lover of art in general i have purchased many of my favourite artists works over the years . Yes its quiet out of control . While you may just have a few that dont quiet suit your current day core or you have been hit with the minimal trend etc . I will give you some of my best tips . Of course firstly all my collection is insured but that means nothing to me if say my house burnt down its totally irreplaceable .

tip one ..................art is always best hung on walls , yours or other family or close friends houses . mine is well spread out for its safety in case of a break in or fire .My families walls all look amazing . Art should be enjoyed !!!!!!

tip two ................. consider a hallway or a spare room and install a hanging system that can enable you to hang lots even on top of each other i can go at least three down a wall . Also if using a spare room please air it regularly and use mold inhibitors . make it a space that is not seen as much and clutter it up in just one area . Ps it can also look amazing if done with an artistic eye.

tip three ................A spare wardrobe is also killer for storage and yes its not just for dresses. wrap art up with either blankets and bubble wrap but please make sure the bubble is long lasting and not the bio degradable type . This will insure ease with rotation of your art collection . again always use mold inhibitors in the wardrobe .

most importantly rotate ! rotate . change your paintings around for a really fresh look . Its also means the art is not staying on the same wall for years as the back of canvas need air aswell . So happy collecting everyone .x
