The November exhibition at the Wondai Art Gallery will officially open next Friday night (November 3) and there’ll be a treat in store again for local art lovers.
Glenn Kelly, who was last seen at the gallery in a unique “auction” exhibition in 2014, has brought his “Colourful Reflections” to the Main Gallery.
He mainly works in acrylics and resin, with a few oil paintings in the mix.
Glenn has described his latest works as “spiritual realism”, with bright colours exploding abstractly on the canvas.
The Darling Downs Textile Art Group will have their 11 panels illustrating Banjo Patterson’s well-known poem, “Mulga Bill’s Bicycle”, in the Front Gallery.
These panels were on display earlier this year at Kingaroy Art Gallery. If you missed them there, it’s definitely worth dropping into Wondai just to take a look.
The panels display a wide range of techniques, all using textile fibres as the medium.
Local artists Joy Carter and Trish Erkens will have their exhibition, “Soul Sisters”, in the Third Gallery.
Joy and Trish have been good friends and painting pals for some 10 years now and have much in common with their painting and gardening endeavours.
Joy has a real love for flowers which reflects in her watercolours. She also dabbles in oils and acrylics and sometimes pastel.
Trish loves anything that catches her eye and watercolours are her real love.
Works from Wondai Kindy will be in Kidz Korner.
Opening night begins at 6:00pm with a $5 entry fee which includes a hot and cold supper and punch. Glasses of wine will be available to buy from Clovely Estate.
The exhibition will remain in the Wondai Regional Art Gallery until 4:00pm on Saturday, November 25.
The Wondai Gallery is open seven days from 10:00am until 4:00pm. Entry is free (except on opening night).
