The Gold Mountain is almost upon me / by Lisa Buckland

I had a deadline for my next solo - Gold Mountain - a series of landscapes investigating my family’s colonial past in the Victorian Gold Rush…and it’s all going to plan. Finished the last painting end of September after a solid 4 months of painting over Winter. Nine works arrive tomorrow - all framed in raw oak. Exciting, as this is the first time my paintings will be framed! Working on the supplemental photos and frames for the gallery wall and the plinth next. Install 6 November, opening 9 November. My first solo opening too. There is another artist having a solo - so not alone in the gallery. The Council are interviewing me for a promotion - exciting days ahead…
