I am so impressed by the artistic work of all the people in the art groups I now belong to and it is such a treat to look at the websites of SYDNEY SKETCH CLUB and EN PLEIN AIR sketch club. They are each producing some very inspirational works. Then I look at the photos uploaded on flickr and the art works in some of the blogs I am following. I am a proud member of a few online groups now. Being a member gives you a sense of the group thing, and inspires you to play your part by contributing. I uploaded my first photo onto the cloud appreciation group's flickr site. yesterday/ 24 hours later there are another 3 pages of worldwide photos added to the site... some amazing cloud photography. I went to a movie tonight. It was a New Zealand movie which won acclaim at the Sydney Film Festival, winning the audience award. The graphic design within the movie was refreshingly different. Art plays such a part in movies these days. We saw an Australian movie called "look both ways" many years ago. It seemed to set a new standard of art infused movie making, and many later movies imitated this or were inspired by the style. One that particularly stands out was "Juno". Anyway, this seems to be quite common these days, which must be great news for artists. Apart from lots of sketching/ painting, I would love to make the soundtrack for a movie. I just need a mentor, and a lot of luck, and perhaps a lot of $.
