Podcast appearances and mentions of scott bevan

Ingrid Hedgcock, director of the Tweed Regional Gallery, shows me around the amazing Margaret Olley Art Centre which is the relocation of Margaret Olley's home studio from Paddington in Sydney. Famous for being like an Aladdin's cave of eclectic objects, the recreated home studio contains the sources of many inspirational items which appear in Margaret Olley's paintings.  Over an astonishing 21,000 items were relocated from Sydney to the gallery. Ingrid, having been involved in the project almost from its inception, is the ideal person to share insights into the creation of this extraordinary tribute to Olley. This is the second of three episodes recorded at Tweed Regional Gallery. The previous episode is my conversation with Sophie Perez and Sarah McDonald undertaking a residency at the gallery and the following episode will be my conversation with Robert Malherbe and Keith Burt at the gallery about the exhibition 'A Dictionary for Painting'.

Sometimes that back story has made me look at the work in a totally different way and I'm bringing you a few of those to you in this episode. See images of the works we talk about below.

In this episode, we are going to be talking about title companies! Title companies play a very important role in your house buying/selling experience. The title company helps transfer the property from the seller to the buyer with a clean chain of title. In simple terms, they make sure that you own exactly what you're buying. There are a lot of players involved in the sale of a property, and the title company really facilitates the transfer of the property. In today's episode of Selling Central Florida Podcast, we sat down with Scott Bevan from Celebration Title Group to teach you everything you need to know. The sale process isn't simple. There are so many moving parts! So many people don't even realize how much goes on behind the scenes. The title company is more involved in the process than people think, and that's a good thing! The title company has your best interests in mind and they are there to help make sure everyone gets what they are entitled to. In today's episode, we discuss: ● What a title company is ● How the title company helps in the sale of a property ● Title insurance ● Where your earnest money goes ● What you need to know about liens ● The difference between ALTA and HUD ● Closing disclosures ● Title fees ● How Celebration Title Group does things differently The more educated you are when going into the buying or selling process, the better the whole experience will be. Not many people understand how integral the title company is so we hope this episode gave you lots of good information so that you can go into your experience with all the information you need. We especially love how Celebration Title company makes the whole experience special and exciting for their buyers and sellers. It is a huge day and they go out of their way to celebrate with their clients. To learn more about them, make sure to check out their website.

If you've been listening to this podcast over the years, you would probably know I'm a self-confessed Archibald tragic. I'm fascinated by the depiction of the human face and figure in paint and that is exactly what the prize celebrates each year at the Art Gallery of NSW. The Archibald Prize is Australia's most famous portrait prize and is now in its 100th year. This episode is a compilation of clips from my conversations with Archibald winners where they talk about how they felt about winning, what it did for their career or about the painting itself. I've also included a clip from my conversation with biographer Scott Bevan where we talked about what was arguably the most controversial Archibald win - the 1943 winning portrait by William Dobell of fellow artist Joshua Smith. See below for a list of podcast guests, the year they won the prize and their portraits. Click on the name to go to the full interview. A video based on this episode will be posted to the Talking with Painters YouTube channel in a few weeks.

Reading Scott Bevan’s biography of 20th century artist William Dobell is like viewing one of Dobell’s portraits; Scott takes us behind the exterior of the subject and into their inner life. He just uses words instead of paint. Scott is a journalist, TV and radio presenter, musician and biographer. In this podcast interview, I talk with him about the life of Dobell in the context of the changing art world of the 20th century.  In particular, we go back seventy seven years to when William Dobell famously won the Archibald Prize with a portrait of his friend Joshua Smith. With less than flattering facial features and elongated arms and neck , the painting was a clear and challenging departure from the more traditional portraits of the previous years. Almost every Australian held a view on that painting. Some were excited, some were shocked - others were even angry. In an unprecedented turn of events, two entrants who missed out on the prize started a court action to try to stop Dobell from receiving the prize money. Those events in 1943 would not only change the course of art in Australia but would traumatise Dobell and Smith for years to come. In ‘Bill: The Life of William Dobell’, Scott takes us into Dobell’s life through the people who knew him, both in Sydney and in the town of Wangi Wangi where he ultimately found peace from the scrutiny surrounding the events of 1943. Most of all he brings to life the complex artist that was William Dobell with enthusiasm and empathy. To hear the podcast episode, click play beneath the feature photo above.

A conversation with the fascinating Scott Bevan and a celebration of Sydney Harbour, one of the world’s great waterways. Everyone knows Sydney Harbour. At least, we think we do. By as little as a word or two, the harbour floats into our mind’s eye. The Bridge. The Opera House. Fireworks on New Year’s Eve. When we see those images, we feel a sense of belonging. No matter who we are or where we’re from, we see the harbour and we feel good. Scott takes us from cove to cove, by kayak, yacht and barge to gather the harbour’s stories, past and present, from boat builders, ship captains and fishermen to artists, divers, historians and environmentalists, from signs of ancient life to the submarine invasion by the Japanese. This is the ultimate story of Sydney Harbour – a city’s heart and a country's soul.

In this beautiful, authoritative and meditative journey, Scott Bevan takes us from cove to cove, by kayak, yacht and barge to gather the harbour’s stories, past and present.
