New Artist Challenge - Sidney Nolan

July 15th, 2019
Thank you to Jennifer for hosting the last challenge and to all who voted for my image. I was very surprised to see my name on the winner’s page and am excited to host the next challenge.
I am choosing Sidney Nolan, one of my favourite Australian artists. I love his portraits and his unique depictions of the history and mythology of bush life in Australia. He worked in a variety of mediums – his body of work diverse in subject and style. I hope this gives everyone lots of inspiration to enter the challenge.

Some of his works and a bit about him -

Don't forget to get the voting up for this challenge, Annie! Or - maybe with so few entries you may want to extend this a week and put a call out for more entries.

That sounds good.
You chose a difficult subject! Sidney Nolan was a tough artist to emulate with his abstract, modernist style.
