Sounds like fun to me. It can also be good if you show as a group.

yep, sounds good to me! actually the 'sunlight' quote is actually quoting Edward Hopper, who is one of my favourite artists. You can have a look at my style of painting by following the link on my post,, but basically I paint realistic landscapes, lots of buildings on the gold coast, blue sky, deep shadows, portraits... I have been trying to organise a once a month to begin with saturday painting day, like what you have suggested, painting and nibblies etc...trouble is, I'm not much of an organiser, as I work full time and have a family, but I am very keen to get exhibiting and the best way to do that is with a group, I think?

Hi Christine, I was looking for exactly what you looked for many months ago, and came upon your post. Did you ever get that group together? It will be nice to join something here on the gold coast! Hope to hear from you soon.
Chante Very Happy

Hi Chante, so nice to hear from you;)
no I never did! like i wrote above, i am not much of an organiser, and one person replying already misunderstood what I was trying to find (see the sunlight on the side of the house above - it really threw me that someone thought I wanted to paint the side of a house because of that Hopper quote...what the???) I have joined the RQAS and am exhibiting and trying to get to as many life drawing and other classes as possible with my work and family - but what I am looking for too, it a group to exhibit with - like minded women who want to exhibit together!

Maybe we can arrange to meet at a cafe and try to organise something.
How about Hope Island Golf Club in the cafe, Hope Island Rd, Hope island (Opposite BiLo). Friday 16October09 at 12.30pm. Anyone interested?
