out and about

Well honestly, the title of this post is a bit of a lie, as I have been confined mostly to my house (voluntarily) for the past week and a bit. A week ago, I graduated from highschool and now have had to concentrate all my efforts on studying for my HSC exams - basically end of year 12 exams in all the subjects you take.

But enough about how boring my life is at the moment! Even though I havent been out much, my mum brought home these postcards the other day which got me very excited of course.

 1. This is a really cool postcard, I love the photo! Its of the Sydney Dust Storm by Dean Sewell.

Its actually to do with an public art exhibition all around Sydney, my mum did a post about it, check it out here. There is some really awesome art - especially the bike made from recycled bikes!

 2.  a double postcard illustration of the harbour = a really cool way to advertise

Advertising for a bicycle story just for women called Clarence St Cyclery

3. such a majestic animal!

A pop-up postcard for the melbourne cup carnival 2010 - which is celebrating its 150th!!

4. A beautiful classic piece of art. This is titled Psyche carried off by the zephyrs (detail) by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon c1804

An advertisement for the Art Gallery of NSW who are presenting an exhibition called 'David to Cezanne: Master drawings from the Prat Collection, Paris'

"A major exhibiton of the finest private collection of French drawings in the world. Featuriong over 100 works by the greatest artists of the 19th century including David, Ingres, Delacroix, Manet, Degas, Seurat and Cezanne"

I know I will be going after the HSC!!
