  ON NOW! Winter 2010 Collector's Fine Art Exhibition
   Showing now: June, July & August 2010

    If you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast this Winter to catch some warmth &
   sunshine, we encourage you to drop into our Buderim gallery to enjoy an
   impressive range of collectable new paintings that have recently arrived.
On
   show are originals by proven performers of the investment art market, including
   new works by David Boyd, Robert Dickerson, Margaret Olley, Tim Storrier, Jason
   Benjamin, Pro Hart, Hugh Sawrey, Norman Lindsay & more!


    Highlights:
   
New Hugh Sawrey oil paintings, including a large & humourous bar room
       scene of the Kogan Creek Hotel & a selection of smaller oils by Sawrey of
       race meetings, stockmen & country weddings. Smaller works by Sawrey are
       harder to come by. They are very popular with collectors because their prices
       are more affordable than Sawrey's larger works.


    Also available & highly recommended for investment are new pastels by the
       famous figurative painter Robert Dickerson. This selection of pastels date from
       early periods of Dickerson's career and, as such, are high quality.

    Many of our clients are looking for affordable works by David Boyd so we are
       pleased to advise that three new vibrant oils by David Boyd, featuring
       cherubic angels & children’s faces have just come into the gallery.

    WHAT'S NEW? Two RARE offerings by Norman Lindsay

  
Bronze Sculpture with a fascinating history:
     We are pleased to offer Lindsay collector's a special sculpture that rarely
     surfaces for sale, the "Sphinx Radiator Cap" bronze sculpture.

     The Sphinx is a common image in Lindsay’s work & was often used as an
     embossed emblem by publishers for his exquisite illustrated books.  The sphinx
     is the symbol of the National Trust Norman Lindsay Gallery & Museum
at his
     estate, "Springwood"
in the Blue Mountains in NSW.

     A fascinating history surrounds the creation of this bronze. In 1926 Lindsay
     designed a Sphinx as a mascot for his wife Rose’s Vauxhall car. Initially it was
     cast by Norman’s talented friend, the sculptor Rayner Hoff (1894-1937).
     Interestingly, Hoff is famous not only for his beautiful sculptures but also for his
     Lion design emblem for Holden cars. When Rayner first cast the Sphinx he used
     lead that had been melted down from old paint tubes. However, this proved
     too heavy & so it was re-cast in another metal & then silvered.

     Rose Lindsay told the story of the collaboration between Lindsay & Hoff, with
     Lindsay’s desire to make the piece more dramatic: “Norman designed a
     mascot for my car, a sphinx, and Rayner Hoff made it to be cast in metal &
     silvered. Norman would keep on interfering, suggesting more chest, & more
     of  a curve here & there, so that the finished result is Norman’s work down to
     the chest & Rayner’s below”.
In 1988, Australia’s Bicentennial year, the National
     Trust
(NSW) decided to cast & reproduce the original Sphinx Radiator Cap as a
     limited edition of 203 bronzes, with only 200 being available for sale. The
     sculpture was very popular, sold rapidly & now very rarely becomes available
     for sale
. The original Sphinx
from Rose’s car is on view at the Norman Lindsay
     Gallery & Museum
.

   Rare Norman Lindsay print from the 1930's:
     Just arrived is a lovely 1930's colour print "Benevolence" (shown here). This rare
     print is available in limited numbers, rarely surfaces for sale & is much sought
     after by Lindsay collectors who often request us to search for this print -
     DON'T DELAY - call us now us if interested - Tel:  07-5450 1722.


      New FRAMED limited edition facsimile etchings by Norman Lindsay have also
      recently arrived, including: "The Cloak" ($1,750); "The Pearl Headdress" ($850) &
      "The Anklet" ($75
0). For a limited time we are also dicounting "This Shrine" for the

    SELECTED ARRIVALS:  New paintings worth a mention
  
  •
Beautiful gorge scene by Michael Challen
      Michael Challen has just completed a stunning landscape of Ormiston Gorge
      in Central Austalia (shown opposite) wiht all the hallmarks of Challen's much
      admired style - amazing realism & detail and a faultless depiction of light &
      water.  Challen's gorge paintings are very popular, so don't hestitate if you're
      tempted!

      Also by Challen is a striking oil of waves crashing into Double Island Point at
      sunset. What is amazing about this painting is how it shows Challen's ability to
      realistically depict the power of the ocean with churning waves & the vapour
      & spray from the sea as it hits the cliffs at Double Island Point near Noosa's
      coastline.
   Darryl Trott's gorgeous watercolour "Orchids"
      We are pleased to offer a beautiful watercolour of "Orchids" (shown opposite)
      by one of the world's most eminent floral painters, the late Darryl Trott
      (1942-2004).

      Darryl Trott, born in Austalia is known worldwide for his incredibly detailed &
      vibrant art of
flowers with his watercolours in the collections of Queen
      Beattrice of Holland, the former US First Lady & the late Lady Bird Johnston.
      Trott's successful career was tragically cut short in 2004 with his untimely death.
      His paintings have now become very collectable. It is well worth seeinf
      Darryl's "Orchids" "in situ" as the freshness of Trott's colour & attention to detail
      are truly masterful.
The "Orchids" watercolour is in mint condition, tastefully
      framed &
VERY WELL  PRICED - a bargain price for works of this size by this
      important painter.
