Some frames of my nephew Sammy shot over the past few months hanging out… he’s definitely not shy of the lens.

Matisse

Currently on exhibition at the Gallery Of Modern Art in Brisbane is Matisse: Drawing Life, the most comprehensive presentation of Henri Matisse’s original drawings & prints ever mounted. Also to complement the exhibition there is ‘The Drawing Room’, an interactive large-scale drawing studio for visitors, inspired by Matisse and his working environments.

If you live locally and haven’t already been I highly recommend it, though be sure to choose a day when they have the life models to draw from to complete the experience.

My line drawing is the purest and most direct translation of my emotion. The simplification of the medium allows that. At the same time, these drawings are more complete than they may appear to some people who confuse them with a sketch.

Joyeux Noël – Fröhlichi Wiehnacht

waxlyric — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 03:20:15 +0000

While we prepare for a Christmas spent lazing on the beach, surfing, BBQs & basking in the sweltering Australian heat, I can’t help but think of my friends & family back in Switzerland rugged up in front of the fire with a hot chocolate held tightly in both hands. It is beautiful way to spend Christmas and as much as I enjoy the sun & surf I can honestly say I miss spending my Christmas in these conditions.

The following two photos I shot back in Switzerland on my last return, the first on the far western {French} side of the country, the second on the far eastern {German} side, both in the respective villages of my wife’s grandparents.

On that note I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël & Fröhlichi Wiehnacht have a safe & happy break and all the best for the coming New Year!

Chez Beauvardia

waxlyric — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 04:16:19 +0000

The idea stemmed during a week long surf trip in late 2010. We were living simple in a friends family beachside shack, minus the distractions of computers or televisions and armed with a notebook & pen, we laid down the foundations of what would be ‘Chez Beauvardia’.

Set to launch early next year almost a year from those original note takings, we are ready to share our plans with you. Chez Beauvardia will involve our passions for fine art, photography, home decor & DIY, combined with our mutual love and respect of the ocean & accompanying lifestyle.

Make sure you head over to our website and signup to be the first to find out when we open our doors for business!

Thanks for your support,

Céline & Matt
{ Chez Beauvardia }
