Yesterday we went to visit the open studio of Silvio Apponyi in the Adelaide hills.A glorious drive in the hills, sun out, blue skies, green paddocks and lots of almond blossom out.
I enjoyed the visit to the studio as Silvio explained to me how he does his various art works, as well as a wonderful carver of wood and stone he is also a great lost wax bronze artist and as a side line does lino cuts and wood cuts!
He is in the photo with John, in his shed and all around were the rocks, tools, wood and various other wonderful things to be found in the surrounds of some one who does 'all of that'. I would love to own a piece but such stuff doesnt come cheaply, and nor it should.
We came home to Victor for a late lunch and then decided it had been a long day.
Double click to enlarge the photos.

It sounds like you had a wonderful day out. You've peeked my curiosity so I googled him and found some exciting pieces. Did you see this one?
