The search goes on, trying to make a painting with blue lines and green background became an obsession. Lots of small paintings that kept getting painted over!

A section of the painting, still a work in progress, the background is a kind of Phthalo turquoise however the blue lines need a second coat. It’s going to take a few more weeks!

Back in the studio and I am continuing my experiments converting drawing to sculpture. The first attempt taught me a lot about what not to do, and what might work!

I arrived back in Bangkok on 2nd Dec. in my studio was a large canvas 110×240 cm with a drawing on it ready to be painted. Little did I know at the time that this painting would take four months to finish. I certainly learnt a lot about the chameleon-like nature of turquoise and its complex relationship with ultramarine. Having cleared the studio of this painting, I am able to start on my sculpture project, I sincerely hope it doesn’t take as long to create!

ABC interview: Artists behind Melbourne’s trams
Melbourne trams are no longer just yellow and green. Artists have painted murals on trams as part of the Melbourne International Art Festival. Lesley Dumbrell was one of the first people to put a paintbrush to the side of a tram in 1986. She joins artist Nyein Aung to discuss painting murals in bland places like the side of a tram and hospital ceilings. Click here for the interview (7min 33sec)

The Tram is back
Melbourne’s painted trams have returned to the tracks for the Melbourne International Arts Festival. I am delighted to announce that my 1986 tram has been recreated in 2019. Watch this video for a peek at how it happened.
