Woodland Scene

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

A visit to Notcot.org yesterday introduced me to the wonderful work of Magdalena Bors. Not only is she talented, she’s also nice, judging from my correspondence with her.

Her next exhibition will start Friday July 4th at Off the Kerb Gallery, Melbourne, if you happen to be in Australia next month.

it was hard to choose which of her works to post, but finally I chose the woodland scene that made that strong first impression on me at Notcot.
