Alene Keiser, looking at her painting of a field streaked across with red horizontals, but also orange ones, and yellow, white, royal purple, and prussian blue, commented: "If you can't tell, I'm not afraid of colour."

The painting, Tulip Farm, is an extreme example of the George Town artist's work, which is on display at her latest exhibition, Off The Wall - an eclectic show of hue-brimming landscape scenes.
The Windsor Gallery show, which Keiser has collated from her past, ranges from oils depicting sunset playing on clouds to glowing hillside greenery and pastel beaches, which Keiser painted largely en plein air - or in the outdoors.
Off The Wall is showing at the Windsor Gallery, Riverside, until May 3.

Flames and Foliage
April 16
Members of the Australian Plants Society Tasmania (APST) Northern Group are looking forward to a talk by a researcher from the University of Tasmania, Dr Stefania Ondei.
The title of her talk is Flames and Foliage: Plant Flammability and its Importance in Natural and Urban Landscapes.
Members of the APST are often asked to suggest plants which can reduce the risk of bushfire damage to their properties and this sort of information is likely to become more important as the fire seasons get longer and hotter.
Dr Ondei will be collecting samples of native and exotic plants during her visit to Launceston and taking them back to her laboratory, FireLab3.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the meeting, free of charge.
It will be held on Tuesday 16th April, 7:30pm at the Max Fry hall, Gorge Rd Trevallyn.

The Pillowman
From April 24
In The Launceston Player's newest play, a writer is dragged into an interrogation room. Detectives say his fiction has been coming true - or, at least, a series of murders have an uncanny similarity to those in his short stories, which makes him chief suspect.
The Pillowman, a new staging coming to the Earl Arts Centre in April, is a work of grisly subject matter, revelations and, funnily enough, humour.
Written by British-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh - now a big screen titan with credits directing and writing Oscar-nominated films like In Bruges - the blackly comedic work is reviving with an all-local cast and crew, helmed by director Mitchell Langley.
The production of The Pillowman arrives at the Earl Arts Centre on April 24. More information and tickets can be found at the Theatre North website.
