Coastal Moods
|
|
|
|
This is Jan's newest exhibition to be held in February, 2007. It is an exciting collection of oil paintings depicting the moods of the Eastern and South-Eastern Coasts of Australia.
Some of the beaches depicted are Fraser Island, Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay, down to many of the holiday favourites on the south coast of New South Wales, including Tuross, Broulee and Bermagui. Also featured are the Victorian beaches of Brighton Bay, St Kilda and Lakes Entrance.
She is attracted to the vibrant, ever-changing colours of the evening skies over the ocean, the early sunrises, and the calming effect of the rolling waves at dusk.
Jan has captured the enchanting moods of the coast of Australia; the memories of all our summers.
The exhibition can be viewed at the Southside Gallery, Southside Community Services, Boolimba Crescent, Narrabundah, from February 24th to March 16th 2007.
The gallery will be open from 9am to 5pm weekdays and 11am to 4pm weekends.

Sojourn In Europe
|
|
|
|
Jan Matson is showing a collection of works from recent trips overseas. Countries include Italy, France and the Adriatic Coast.
Jan has travelled extensively in Europe bringing back ideas for paintings. She is particularly drawn to the old landscape, architecture and street scenes of provincial Europe. She finds the contrast to Australian life very inspirational and her eye for colour and light make her work appealing to lovers of this part of the world. Her greatest passion is for the small, ancient towns in Italy and France. This exhibition features paintings of San Gimignano, Sienna, Assisi, Arles, Paris, Rouen, Honfleur, Dubrovnik and many other popular as well as out of the way places.
For the Southside Gallery, the showing of works of local artists is a new venture. The exhibition can be viewed at the Southside Gallery, Southside Community Services, Boolimba Cres, Narrabundah, from 11th to 19th March, 11am - 4pm weekends and 9am – 5pm weekdays.
