Not the painting you expected

Thanks to a generous government grant, the local arts group has been able to purchase its very own space for exhibitions, workshops and meetings.

Originally two school houses put together and then used for years as a saddlery, the buildings needed a lot of cleaning, painting and rebuilding. After months of hard slog, it finally opened and crowds poured through.

It’s exciting for a small town of 1500 people to have its own art space. It’s going to be very interesting to see what comes from it.

Now I can get back to my collage, but first, I have a wee trip to Croatia to escape the sub-zero temperatures here in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales.
