For some reason these have come up in the wrong order, the first is a paper cast with gesso and then various colours added to it, this is part of Maggie Grey's online class so I cant say too much about it.
Today we went looking at art shows, still to do with the biennale, first one at Goolwa and then one a lovely one over at Strathalbyn, would have loved to have bought a couple there. This was a special one curated by David Dridan, who is a friend, and from artists around the Fleurieu. It has a lovely setting in the Town Hall with lots of room and had sculpture and basketry as well as paintings.
On the way back we passed the cockle train, so the slightly distant ones were taken out of the car window and the other, the second photo is of the engine, in winter we have a steam train but it is too dangerous now that the paddocks have dried out as sparks can and do start fires.
The cockle train runs for quite a lot of the lenth between Goolwa and Victor harbor along the shore line and is a wonderful way to see the coast, named the cockle train because the locals used to take it to get to Goolwa to harvest the cockles and return.
The close up of the engine was taken as we were having coffee in Victor having beaten it back, a slightly wonky angle as I took it in a hurry and originally I had my back to it!

Love the paper cast it looks like metal and the train is a site to see being red and all.
I meant to post this earlier. I agree with bunks-- that paper cast looks like metal. Just gorgeous.
