OK... speaking virtually I am.... I thought it would be wonderful to meet up with blogosphere friends for a cup of tea and something special. At first I thought of asking you along to something classsic ...like the Ritz in London... then I thought of a place in Sydney that's been attracting a lot of fuss. And since we are travelling light and cost is not a factor then I hope you will join me at 3pm Sunday week at the address down below ...and anyone with more time up their sleeve might like to attend the NSW Art Gallery with me 'highlights the artists and art featured in the groundbreaking three-part documentary series Art + Soul, which will screen on ABC Television from 7 October 2010' So... I thought this might be a wonderful show to take you bloggers along to from OS... what do you think? After the show we will repair to the wonderful patisserie in Darling St, Balmain of Adriano Zumbo who's concoctions have names like 'Lukas rides the tube' and 'Escape from a Colombian rainforest' and this one pictured below:
caramel cheesecake, caramel chew & caramel cream cheese mousse |
WHAT A GREAT PEAR OF...: Almond creme, pear vanilla creme patisserie, pate a choux sable, pear gel, almond crunch & almond struesel |
MACARONS: Beetroot & raspberry, pumpkin & orange risotto, custard crunch, chickpea lemon & caramel, Mont Blanc, Citrus & mustard, Blackened vanilla bean, 3 textures blueberry, Kalamata olive & bergamot candy, Pear pistachio & fennel, salted peanut caramel, oatmeal & ylang ylang |
OK.... so send in your rsvp's now so I can book a virtual table. How can you resist joining me there... see more pics here at Adriano Zumbo's gallery. The suburb below is very close to the central city. Who's in? Its free and wont take up all your time!!!!
Balmain from the air... you can see the Harbour Bridge top left. |

Hi Sophie! How are you! i visited your website! it is new right? It looks very good, i love your work, and i can't stop looking at the one in archive:counterpoint 2004. i find it very attractive (can i say that? well i really really like it :-) it gives so much energy.
all the best!
Hello Sanne,
Thank you for your lovely comments...it is a new website.. still must complete it!
Im delighted with your compliment of the one called 'counterpoint'.
I spent very much time on this one...it was like a serious puzzle... a meditation...there is one small red square in it which is causing the balance to the whole work. I wonder if you noticed this small red square...
I think this painting was like a very important philosophical problem I was trying to weigh up ....maybe not even consciously. It caused me to feel very , very involved and keep returning to paint it to get it just so finely balanced.
Have a great week!

Robyn,
delighted your'e coming , virtually of course!!
How wonderful to live so close for a time that you could regularly walk to the gallery and the many other excellent locations in the area~
Did you see the first of the ABC show 'Art and Soul' this week? I caught it on Iview last night and really was terribly pleased to have seen it. Found Hettie Perkins approach very compelling and unusual. Must talk to you about this actually!
See you next Sunday...Ha!
