Welcome and g'day, Ngaire. I didn't figure I'd ever be reading, much less typing, the name Toowoomba again, after a three-year stint in Oz during the mid-90's, which happens to be where I first opened a tube of oil paint. Made it back to Queensland a year ago, though, to meet up again with Aussie friends for holiday.
Saw a lot of great painting in Australia, from European to Aboriginal and everything in between. I still can't play the didgeradoo worth a darn, though, at least not longer than one fill of the lungs -- I don't seem to be coordinated enough to manage circular breathing with high volume.
You probably know that we have other members from Down Under as well. The internet makes it a small world, though you may still feel a bit isolated from fellow artists and art instructors in your location. Be sure to take full advantage of the tremendous amount of information and advice in the hundreds of past threads available on the Forum.
Cheers
