Margaret River painter, Sam Broadhurst, has been experimenting with pointillism as an advancement of his well known style and the results will be shown at an exhibition at the margaret river gallery, opening on Easter Saturday.
The exhibition is titled Consider the Moment and will be on show at the main street gallery until April 6.
Of the showing Mr Broadhurst said: “Consider the Moment is an exhibition of paintings with absolute focus on the natural world…..the only trace of man may be the windblown footprints patterning a coastal wilderness.
“Each image captures the details that are totally unique to that particular moment. Although we are rarely aware, in the next second the light has changed with a passing cloud, a plant has flattened against the wind or the dunes have shifted just ever so slightly.
“In the lead up to this exhibition I investigated a variety of art from pre and post impressionism …. I have been painting in a more impressionistic style for a while now and was curious to explore the art styles that led in and out of this period… in particular the way of creating detail through pointillism.
“This use of small dabs and dots of colour give a painting a greater sense of vibrancy when seen from a distance. By setting down the feeling, colour and tonal qualities on site, I then select areas of an image to work intensely with tiny brushes, leaving others with softer more impressionistic strokes. This combination varies from piece to piece dependent on the experience of the place I am seeking to create.’ “

A wedding showcase catering to couples from the local and surrounding areas.
The best way to plan your wedding is locally at a bridal show. At bridal shows you get to meet the wedding professionals and to see if you like them and their products.
Weddings are exciting, personal, once-in-a lifetime events. Since most brides and grooms-to-be have little or no experience in buying wedding goods and services research is critical. And, while online research is an excellent resource, attending a bridal show is the best opportunity to ask questions, compare prices, quality, styles and to make informed buying decisions.
Admission to Your Local Wedding Expo is $5 per person, which includes wedding magazines, special offers and much more valued at over $30. Every attendee will have a chance at winning many great door prizes on the day. There will be two separate entry barrels – one for the bridal couple from which we will draw several wedding prizes – and the other for all general attendees which we will draw general door prices.
