In December, 1992, I was strolling with my daughter, then aged 10, in Victor Harbor, and we went into the Lewitzka Old Telegraph Station Gallery.\u00a0 Inside, I found two things:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 As we walked along a corridor, we came close to a room where Terry was painting in oils, and we both backed away from the pungent smell.\u00a0 It struck me then that I could never paint indoors in oil, the effect on my family would be awful.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 After browsing through the gallery, we came to a small paint supplies shop, and there I saw acrylic paints for the very first time.\u00a0 There were also various mediums, and copies of the technical booklet by Chroma paints, which I read in detail in the following days.\u00a0 I found acrylics, with minimal toxic effects, could be suitable for using indoors at home.<\/p>\n
It was perfect timing.\u00a0 My children had reached the stage when my time was no longer needed of an evening, as it had been during their early years, and at that time my work didn’t occupy my evenings.<\/p>\n
Over the next five years I spent most evenings painting at the kitchen table, and many lunch breaks were spent outdoors in the city with my pocket sketch book.<\/p>\n

Student acrylic on cartridge paper, 14 x 11″<\/p>\n
Painted on a table in the rear garden during the Christmas holiday break.\u00a0 I found Adelaide’s mid-Summer weather is not suitable for outdoor painting with acrylics, as the paint was drying on the brush before I could apply it.<\/p>\n
After reading the technical bulletin by Chroma Acrylics, I sought out one of the few art supplies shops which were open during the Christmas\/New Year break, and bought the student quality acrylics to trial them, and I was very pleased.\u00a0 Although I expect the student grade are water-fast on children’s clothing, I found they were not on my paintings, so I soon swapped to artist quality acrylics.<\/p>\n

I was fascinated by the huge kites that had become available, very different from the string and brown paper ones we made as children.\u00a0 The kite flyer offered me a short try at holding the controls, and it needs some strength.\u00a0 I decided I would like to do that in retirement, but I never got around to it, and I doubt if I would now have the strength to control one of those.<\/p>\n

My mother selected it as a gift for her, and it hung on her wall until she went into a nursing home.<\/p>\n

I had known this view from childhood.\u00a0 When we rode our bikes to Glenelg, we would ride across the top of the locks at the Patawalonga outlet, then turn right to be on the wide open public beach.<\/p>\n
It all changed about ten years after this painting was done.<\/p>\n
