The challenge produced a number of very creative entries. We put the images to a vote (without the name of the creator) and asked our membership to de- cide by giving a \u2764\ufe0f on their favourite. It was a close run thing, but Marie Farmer won the challenge and you\u2019ll see her banner for the next twelve months.<\/p>\n

Our \u2018Art Buddies\u2019 team includes Christina Brun- ton, Denise Cauchi, Ilona Abou-Zolof, Marie Helyar, Marina Hobbs, Robyn McLauchlan and Ngaire Danvers. We gather regularly on Zoom, taking turns to set our creative challenges. Challenge: \u201cAbandoned or what has been left behind\u201d This challenge was set by Marie Helyar. Create an artwork that explores what lingers after something has ended. This could be: \u2022 A place once full of life \u2022 A relationship, season, or chapter now passed \u2022 A feeling that hasn\u2019t quite faded Focus on traces, echoes, absence, or quiet presence rather than literal storytelling.<\/p>\n

What matters isn\u2019t what is gone \u2014 but what is left behind. Let mood, light, texture, or stillness do the work. Our Art Creations: We hope our creations motivate you to share your own interpretation on the Artists Down Under Facebook page. Your artistic expression matters to us, and we are excited to see what you cre- ate!<\/p>\n

Welcome everyone to another edition of Artists Down Under. Here we are, it is March already, the start of Autumn. Did you know that the month name \u201cMarch\u201d was named after Mars, the Roman God of War & it was originally the first month of the Roman Cal- endar, interesting.<\/p>\n

It is also known as the month of beginnings. March also brings celebrations for St Patricks Day on the 17th March, so I thought it only be fair to set our monthly challenge for our artists as \u201cLeprechauns\u201d. A lot of fun was had with this challenge! We have two artists that have put together a series of art work for you, Rosa Perry, who gave us \u201cThe Watcher\u201d series & Ilona Abou-Zolof who shared with us her \u201cSouthern Reverie\u201d series. Such amazing talent from both ladies that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

Andrew Haysom shares with us his Photoshop tips on Adjustment Layer Upgrades. The Art Bud- dies challenge for this month was \u201cAbandoned or what has been left behind\u201d and a competition was held by our Coffee & Pixel group to create a new Coffee & Pixel banner. There were some awe- some entries & were voted upon by our Artist Down Under members – check out to see their new banner & who the winner was.<\/p>\n

Lastly the girls from the Redlands Digital Artists Group share another of their images in their \u201cChi- nese Whispers\u201d series. Next month will see their 100th month together, what will they surprise us with for that amazing achievement. Well that\u2019s it from me for this month, stay safe everyone and look out for each other.
