30 June 2012 - Corel Painter

I celebrated getting half way through the year's worth of projects

by downloading the trial version of Corel's Painter program

If you're in Adelaide and you would like to see some much better

in-real-life painting I recommend the Art Gallery of SA's current exhibitions

"South Australia Illustrated" is a great look at the very early days of European settlement

http://www.artgallery.sa.gov.au/agsa/home/Exhibitions/SouthAustraliaIllustrated.html

and for some fabulous works by great European artists of early last century "La Belle Epoque"

I did lots of eating (and forgot to take any photos there as per every year).
