While away camping on a very dull and drizzly afternoon last week, a beautiful vibrant rainbow appeared in the eastern sky with the waxing gibbous moon just under the bow, everybody including lots of children were outside enjoying the beautiful sight…the colours were just stunning :-)
 
Images were taken on the 22nd June 2021 with a Canon G7X Mark 11 camera on manual focus and ISO320.

We were on a trip to Tweed Heads and visited the Tweed Regional Art Gallery at Murwillumbah in NSW and what a delight it was to come across some stunning night sky paintings in the ‘Void exhibition.
 
I’ve really enjoyed discovering all about the lives of these three incredible artists and the story about country related to their paintings. You never know where what you’ll discover when out and about in your travels and if you find your way to Murwillumbah in NSW please visit this awesome Art gallery…it’s also FREE admission :-)

Void
Friday 7 May 2021 to Sunday 4 July 2021
The Temporary Exhibitions Gallery

The void is a multifaceted concept, not simply of presence and absence, but a place that exists between distinct worldviews, is occupied by meaning and is imbued with personal, historical and ancestral significance. The artists presented in this exhibition do not simply define the void as denoting a lack, but rather they utilise form to represent the formless.

Void brings together contemporary Aboriginal artistic practice from across the country.
 
Curated by Emily McDaniel, the exhibition features existing works across the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, video and photography by artists including Pepai Jangala Carroll, Jonathan Jones, Mabel Juli, John Mawurndjul AM, Hayley Millar-Baker, Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri, Mr R Peters, Doreen Reid Nakamarra, Andy Snelgar, Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher AO, Freddie Timms, James Tylor, Jennifer Wurrkidj and Josephine Wurrkidj.

An exhibition curated by Emily McDaniel, in conjunction with UTS Gallery and Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, presented nationally by Museums & Galleries of NSW. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program, and through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
