Last night I painted an oil portrait of Benjamin Stebbings, in which I attempted to use his fragmented style, but in black and white. He passed away on Jan 1st. I did this for the family, to show how he was loved and admired by fellow artists, and also to help me deal with my own feelings about him. Rest in peace Ben.

Double Date (2017) Review

I was looking for something to watch so decided to browse the films on Sky cinema. I saw this one and it sounded familiar then I remembered seeing Dexter Fletcher talking about it on some TV show. I’m always up for watching a British horror comedy and his brief involvement along with a couple of other cast members made me decide to give this one a go.

The movie guy reviews: Lion

Article by Benjamin Harkin

Lion is half an uplifting tale about one young man’s journey to rediscover his childhood and find his birth family, and half a glorified ad for Google Earth. Starring Dev Patel as Saroo (in a second turn with a movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars), Nicole Kidman as his adopted mother Sue, and Rooney Mara as Saroo’s girlfriend (whose name I don’t really remember). David Wenham is also in the film as his adopted father.

The film opens with a prolonged introduction to Saroo’s story in India by having the journey he takes as a kid, his getting separated from his mother, his brother Guddu leaving him on a train station seat to go look for stuff to scrounge, and in his child-like way bumbling on to a stopped train to have a sleep for the night. The next morning he wakes up to the train speeding out of the station, into another faraway town where he can’t understand the language. But Saroo has street smarts, even if he’s completely isolated from his family. He avoids the clutches of corrupt security officials and spooky looking thugs, and then narrowly escapes child trafficking. He winds up in a sort of holding centre/prison for street kids, a rundown dump where they try to give these kids an education, except it usually involves a cane and teachers tearing their hair out when one kid disrupts the entire class, being that they’re all kids who have broken families or nowhere to go.

All seems lost for Saroo. His life will forever be that of a street kid, disadvantaged and given a kick in the stomach by nearly every level of Indian society. That is, until, a charming Australian couple (Kidman and Wenham) opt to adopt him to live with them in Tasmania. To give him a fresh start in life, a good education, and much better surroundings. The counsellor lady in the prison/holding centre basically lays it down for Saroo: in the prison he will go nowhere, and they can’t find his mother or his brother, so he will go and live with this nice white couple in Tasmania.

Saroo meets his new parents at the airport, and they seem the ideal parents. The mother dotes on his every expression, the father a kind-hearted soul. They live in harmony for a year, until the couple want to adopt again, and the second kid they bring from the prison place, Saroo’s new adopted brother, has clear signs of not coping and mental illness.

The film then skips twenty or so years. The brother is a drug-taking, angst-ridden wreck who regularly goes into tantrums where he hurts himself. The mother is dragged down by the brother. Saroo is in the prime of his life, but needing his own space away from his family. He finds a cute student (Rooney Mara) in his university class to date. It’s at a hangout with friends that he first discovers the quest to find his birth family, a certain Indian food sparks a memory for him, that as a child he could remember running past a market of some sort.

Look it’s a good film. The story is told in a very straightforward way, the plot is fairly predictable, and yet still heartwarming. The acting is good. There’s lots of Google Earth used to track train stations in India. I guess my one qualm with the film was that his girlfriend is pretty undeveloped as a character, she just kind of hangs around until he becomes so obsessed with his quest to find his birth family that he tells her to sod off. Rooney Mara is a fab actress, and it’s a bummer to see her underutilised.

But in all this is a solid movie, and its emotional ending is made all the more emotional by the fact that the story of Saroo was real. He went to track his birth family back in 2012 or 2013, and they show clips in the credits. I dunno, like I didn’t think the film warranted Best Picture, Lion isn’t at all groundbreaking, but if you want a family crowdpleaser and something to jerk a few tears of joy, here’s the movie for you.

(Lion is currently screening.)

51 artworks have been shortlisted out of a record-breaking 919 entries for Australia’s most prestigious portraiture competition, the 2019 Archibald Prize. The annual accolade celebrates paintings of notable figures that reflect Australian culture across areas including art, media, entertainment, politics, sports and more.

First established in 1921, the Prize takes its namesake from the founding editor of The Bulletin magazine (an Australian politics and business periodical that remained in circulation for 128 years!), Jules Francois Archibald, who was a passionate supporter of Australian journalism and the arts.

The subjects of this year’s shortlisted paintings include Afghan-born Australian lawyer and writer Mariam Veiszadeh by Angus McDonald with a breathtaking modern take of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring; a wonderfully playful multi-limbed self-portrait by Sydney-based artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran; a simultaneously soft and strong portrayal of beloved author, journalist and LGBTQI activist Benjamin Law by Keith Burt; and a hyper-realistic depiction of respected elder of the Warakurna community and Ngaanyatjarra people of Western Australia, Daisy Tjuparntarri Ward, by David Darcy.

28-year old Western Australian artist Tessa MacKay has taken out the 2019 Archibald Packing Room Prize for her captivating portrait of actor David Wenham, who sits in the window of a cafe, contemplating the world beyond.

Following tradition, the Art Gallery of New South Wales head packer Brett Cuthbertson and his packing room team awarded the prize. ‘I love the reflection of the glass and that David’s in a reflective mood too. We blokes have a lot to think about these days!’, Cuthbertson said!

‘Sydney had to be part of David’s portrait, but I wanted to nestle David within a figurative essence of Sydney,’ Tessa said, ‘Painting the streetscape reflections merging into the cafe interior meant that I could depict Sydney in a more interesting and playful way and it gave me the space to capture a multi-layered and complex urban world.’

Archibald finalists along with shortlisted works for the Wynne and Sulman prizes will be exhibited at the Art Gallery of NSW from May 11th – September 8th, and winners will be announced on Friday, May 10th. Stay tuned!

John  Abbe  migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

Descendants of John Abbe

Generation No. 1       1. John1 Abbe was born 1613 in Staverton, Northampston, England, and died 1689 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. He married Mary Abt. 1634 in Probobly England. She was born Abt. 1615 in England, and died September 09, 1672 in Wenham, Massachusetts. Notes for John Abbe: Taken from “Abbe-Abbey Genealogy” by Cleveland Abbe and Josephine Nichols. John Abbe, born in England about 1613; died in Salem, Mass., about 1689-90.

The place of birth of John Abbe, the founder of the American Abbe and Abbey families, is unknown, but every indication points to one of the interior and central counties of England as the home of the ancestors of the emigrant. It is not improbable that he was connected with the Abbye family of Staverton, Northampton. The parish registers of Stoke Bruerne, Northampton, show that there were many marriages of Abbyes recorded there during the 16th and 17th centuries.

John Abbe, from the age given approximately at his death, was born about 1613.

The first mention which seems to be of this John Abbe is on a register of the names áOof all ye passengers wch passed from ye Porte of London for a whole yeare endinge at Xmas 1635 -

Those underwritten are to be transported to Virginia imbarqued in ye Mercht bonaventure James Ricrofte Mr bound thither have taken ye oath of allegeance

- Jo: Abby yeares 22 Although this statement says bound for Virginia, it is a well-known fact that many of the early ships destined for Virginia landed many or all of their passengers at other ports, even in New England, and records of the name John Abbe begin in New England about that time.

The above Jo: Abby does not appear in the records of Virginia, nor in the Head Rights for lower Norfolk from 1637 to 1666. The abbreviation Jo: sometimes stood for Joseph, but there are proven instances where it was used for John.

The first reference to the name in the Salem records is on page 11, volume 1, in 1637, or, according to the old method of marking time, 2d of the 11th month, 1636.

John Abbie is Recd. ffer Inhabitant & is to haue one acre lott for a house next beyond the Gunsmiths, and 3 acres of planting ground where the Towne hath appointed beyond Castle Hill.

There has existed some confusion regarding the various freemen of the name Abbey and Alby. Benjamin Albye was admitted freeman, May 18, 1642, and John Albye in Salem, May 10, 1643.

These were, without doubt, the two Albys, John and Benjamin, mentioned in the early records of Braintree about this time. Benjamin Alby removed to Mendon and had numerous descendants, whose names occasionally appear in printed records as Abbey. John Abbey, sen., of Redding, freeman in 1634, may have been an Alby

On the 21st, 11th month, 1638, John Abby had a further grant of five acres, location not specified, but, as on the 15th, 2nd month, 1639, this record occurs, Granted unto John Abby 5 acres neere to Mr Throgmortons hoggehouse, it may be that the first was the grant and the second the location. Under date of the 25th, 10th month, 1637,

it was agreed the marsh and meadow lands that have formerly been laid in common to this town shall be appropriated to the inhabitants of Salem, proportioned out to them according to the heads of families. To these that have the greatest number an acre thereof, and to these that have least not above half an acre, and to these that are between both three quarters of an acre, always provided and it is agreed, that none shall sell away their proportions of meadow, more or less, nor lease them out to any above three years, unless they sell or lease out their houses with their meadow.

Under the above division a list of the inhabitants was taken, and the land divided. Jo. Abby is named in 1638 as having three in his family, and he receives half an acre.

On the 23d, 11th, 1642, ten acres are granted to John Abby together with several other ten-acre grants, all to be laid out near to Kings lot.

This was on the Beverly side near Bass River, and on the 15th of the 12th month, 1642, it is voted áOordered that John Abby shall have 10 acres of land at Enon in exchange of 10 acres of land bounded out near Basse River. The lot near Bass River was afterward granted to Michael Sallows.

The record of the grants to Abbey show that he was of the same standing in the community as the great majority of the early inhabitants. The grants were in a great measure made with an eye as to the ability of the grantee to develop the land so granted, small grants to the poorer and the larger grants to the richer sort.

In 1642, Mr. Fiske organized a church at Enon and the following year the name Enon was changed to Wenham, while a permanent church organization was effected in 1644.

In 1644, under the date of the 13th, 6th month, it was agreed that John Abby shall have all that wastground which lyeth between ye end of ye lott which he lives upon and ye meadow which blelongs to ye town, leaving a poles bredth most convenient for a way. (Wenham town records, Worcester.)

Under the date of 1653 is a list of engagements with Goodman Haws about the mill, and John Aby gives a day and a half of his labor toward its erection, and others contributed in a like manner, some also giving the use of oxen.

Mr. Fiske left the town in 1655 followed by a number of the church, and in 1657 Mr Newman was procured as pastor. Under date of November, 1657, in a total rate of ¹42, 19, divided among twenty- four persons, of whom five paid a total of ¹14,

John Abey is assessed ¹1, 5, which was about the sum paid by eleven others, but two being less. In 1659, twenty-seven pay a rate of ¹46, 2, of whom sixteen pay ¹1 or a trifle over. Of these John Abey pays ¹1, 5, as before, in corne or cattle.

In 1660 he was assessed as Goodman Abey at eight shillings toward a new meeting house or repairing the old one. The new house was built in 1663. Under date of 6th, 11 month, 1661, John Abbey, Sr., and Edward Waldron had a town grant of land to be equally divided between them. The use of the title Senior at this time helps to place the birth of the son

John.

In 1663 Goodman Abey, Sr., and John Clarke are chosen to join with the selectmen to make the ministers rate for the present year.

In 1669 and in 1671 John Abbey appears as constable, an office of great local power and responsibility.

April 3, 1675, John Abbe deeded 10 acres of land to his son Samuel,

Thomas, John and Mary Abbe, being witnesses. John Abbe, sen., was a witness to the will of Edwd Walden of Salem, 4th month, 1679.

In 1683, John Abbey, who had been supporting his son Thomas, who lived with him and cared for him, dismissed Thomas on account of his bad behavior and called his son John, junior, to take charge of him and his affairs.

The son, John, proceeded early to build a new house, as the old one was unfit to live in.

“Mary, the wife of John Abbey, senr. dyed the 9 Sept. 1672”; Wenham records. She was doubtless the mother of all of his children. Her name is given as Mary Loring, by Frederick Orr Woodruff, who says that the name was found on Enfield records by one who made researches for him there.

John Abbe married (2) November 25, 1674, MRS. MARY GOLDSMITH, widow of Richard Goldsmith, who was killed by lightning, May 18,1674. She was living in 1683. “John Abbie and Marah Goldsmith maryed 25 of Novemb, 1674”; Wenham records.

Notes for Obadiah Abbe: OBADIAH2 ABBEY, son of John1 Abbey, born probably in Wenham, Mass., between 1647 and 1652; died in Enfield, Conn., October 28, 1732. From the inventory of his father’s estate we learn that he was apprenticed to Richard Goldsmith to learn his trade of shoemaker, and that he served Goldsmith three years from his eighteenth year.

As Goldsmith died in 1673, this places the date of Obadiah’s birth approximately. He was an early settler of Enfield on the eighth lot from the south corner, east side, one of the original proprietors in 1682.

He seems to have been a prominent and influential man of the community, was constable between 1682 and 1717, surveyor of highways in 1692, assessor in 1702. In 1685 he was engaged in a law suit with Isaac Meacham.

At Northampton is the will of Obadiah Abbey, dated September 22, 1732; probated November 14, 1732. He names as legatees his wife, Sarah, to whom is given maintenance, all household goods and moveables; his cousin (nephew) Thomas, son of his brother Thomas, to whom is given his Scantic lot, and to the former Thomas’ son, Obadiah, house and land, with reversion to his youngest son, Thomas,

if the said Obadiah should die; to the last-named Thomas, he gives farm lands at the Mountains; his wife’s daughter, Phebe Heal; his cousin John Abbey’s oldest son, John. His cousin, Thomas Abbey, and Elizabeth Warriner are made executors.

This Elizabeth Warriner was presumablv the step-daughter of his wife, who was born in 1686.

Obadiah Abbe’s holdings in Enfield are described in the Enfield records: Home lot of 12 acres; 23 acres in the South Field, eastern division; 7 acres upon Schantuck River, 5 acres of it upland and 2, meadow; 2 acres of meadow upon a small brook easterly from the “grate meadow”; 4 acres of meadow by grant of March 5, 1700; and on November 17, 171[ ], a farm lying west of Schantuck grate meadow" consisting of 168 acres,

some of the boundaries of which were designated as Òwht Oak Tree marked with the letters O A" and a “Pine Tree marked with the letters O A.” See also under Thomas2 Abbe, references to Obadiah’s property.   Notes for Sarah Tibbals: She was the daughter of Thomas Tibbals of Milford. Her first husband was Daniel Collins, by whom she had children, and she married second Joseph Warriner of Enfield, who died 1697.

Obadiah Abbe had no children, so far as is known.   More About Obadiah Abbe and Sarah Tibbals: Marriage: Aft. 1697, Enfield, Connecticutt + 8 vii.   Thomas Abbe, born Abt. 1653 in Wenham, Massachusetts; died May 17, 1728 in Enfield, Connecticutt. Generation No. 2
