Family Photo Friday
The first of many visits by Dad to the Sunshine Coast The Photo Friday Challenge Hi. I’m Jude Tulloch, a creative artist wanting your help. Here’s the plan. Each Friday I choose a photo to post. At the same time I cull then name the remaining photos taken on that day. The aims: to transform […]

Sand Sculpture
Fourteen years ago, I watched the daylight fade and saw this magnificent sand sculpture transform into a glowing magical fairytale castle as the darkness deepened. The original Noosa Sandman, Dennis Massoud had already completed it Colin and I arrived at Bistro C with our friends Deb and Greg and their two daughters Maddie and Chloe. […]

Photo clutter gets me down
Clutter and chaos infect my photo collection. I’m sure I am not alone. The photos grow exponentially. On my iMac there are 27,681 images and 51 videos in my Photos file, taking up 166GB.

Enjoying Noosa Open Studios
A mini gallery springs to life. These pretty flowers are in a jardiniere from my mother’s collection – a memory from my childhood. The encircling cards, miniatures of a painting series are, in my mind, fallen petals. Visitors to Noosa Open Studios like the space I’ve created too, which makes me happy. Right now I’m […]

Collage gets a red dot
Although Open Studios is primarily about inviting people into your space to view your art and to see how you work, it’s always exciting when you sell a work. It’s been really wonderful to have feedback on my art, to have conversations with art lovers and fellow artists, and to collaborate with the three local […]
