Dennis Argall: Little Archies

31 March 2010

Little Archies

For the Little Archies, a local portrait competition, I am wanting to make a painting of Murray Peters. Muz is a well known local, who works impossible hours with six arms and at least three brains steering the local commercial radio station through the morning. Yesterday, being in attendance at the studio to talk about China justice system and Stern Hu, I took some photos. How to get from these photos to a painting, or should it be something other than a painting? Not just a photo...

about me

I am Australian. I have degrees in social anthropology and defence studies. I have worked for the Australian Government and parliament and in overseas missions in The Philippines, Italy, the United States and China. In Washington as Counsellor then acting Minister. In Beijing as Australian Ambassador to China. In disability I developed a small organic farm but had to give that up; I have had more opportunity than most to read and think. My disability begins with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, probably post-viral in China. Earning marginally less disrespect with the arrival of long covid. I am not a member of any organisation. I am solely responsible for what is placed in this blog. Unless otherwise stated I am the author of what is placed here. The blog is revived in early 2022 given the extraordinary rise in conflict, and if not of wider war, great damage to the planet by thoughtless sanctions programs.
