This exhibition ‘Autumn’ will highlight the seasonal tones of plants that are both native to our district or form part of our cultural garden heritage that this area is so aptly known for. Mt Macedon’s cool climate stimulates the remarkable colours of our historic hill station gardens and streetscapes. Autumn is also the time of harvest and more recently the Macedon Ranges has become an area well regarded for its exceptionally high standard of local produce. Many of the artworks will also celebrate this time of harvest in meticulously detailed engaging artworks.
All works are exquisitely executed in fine detail using the highest quality materials and a variety of mediums including watercolour works on paper and vellum, as well as works in graphite, and pen & ink.
This exhibition is a collaboration of contemporary botanic artists who are all part of the Mt Macedon & District Horticultural Society. These artists have come together to mark the remarkable achievement of both the long history of botanic art in the area and also celebrate the 100th year since the beginning of our Society
During the Autumn Festival on Tuesdays many of the artists will demonstrating in an ‘open studio’ setting at the Mt Macedon Horticultural Hall. Visitors will be able to view meticulously detailed artworks and meet artists that create them. To discuss techniques and individual approaches of each artist in an informative and inspiring setting. See the ‘tools of the trade’ and development of artworks in progress to learn and appreciate the these finely rendered works and observation skills of these highly trained artists.
