Preparing for 'Prominent South Australians' Exhibition

Twenty three paintings of a few of my favourite South Australians are on their way to Adelaide. I have just finished painting Robert Hannaford’s 1995 self portrait and will have to take it with me. What a journey it has been; working out which plants were in flower that I could paint, finding out some that were not actually from SA, having to sand the wooden boxes to reduce the colour changes due to light exposure, making the time lapse videos and QR codes to give more interest for the Rustic Gourmet patrons, varnishing, wiring, packing and now I am ready to go.

Gordon Harvey whose beautiful music you’ll hear on the time lapse videos will accompany me on double bass for a couple of songs at the opening and a glass of South Australian bubbles.

Hoping to see you at the Rustic Gourmet.
