Society’s mixed
media on show
Looking to get in some early
Christmas shopping? Then
head to the Northern Beaches
Art Society’s annual free exhibition
at the Avalon Recreation
Centre on Friday 12th to
Sunday 14th October, where
all works will be on sale.
The talented artists of the
NBAS cover all media – oils,
acrylics, watercolour, mixed
media and pastels – in both
contemporary and traditional styles. This is the 72nd year
they’ve exhibited.
This year’s exhibition judge is respected illustrator, painter
and educator Mike Golding, who will have the daunting task
of awarding the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. All the entries will
also be in the running for the ‘Northern Beaches Council
Award’, as well as the ‘People’s Choice Award’, selected by
the viewing audience. Plus, a raffle for a beautiful painting
by the President June Rodden, will be held.
New members are always welcome to join the NBAS. Information
about the society will be available at the exhibition
or check out the website, where you can also download the

Nada’s studio open days
Acclaimed local painter
Nada Herman is opening
her home studio at Avalon and
exhibiting over three successive
weekends in October.
The colour and excitement
in Nada’s work reveals
her love of our area and the
beauty found within the bush,
marine life and beaches.
Thick brushes are a necessity
in her style, as well tins of
oil paints and a palette knife.
She says the palette knife creates
a fresh painterly quality
and is perfect for painting wet
over wet without the colours
becoming muddy.
“I adore painting beach
scenes – they are full of subject
matter with their lovely
bathers and the ever-moving
waves, seagulls and sailboats,”
she says.
Open at 62 Chisholm Ave,
Avalon from 10am to 5pm on
Oct 6-7, 13-14 and 20-21; more
