Last year we came through Ballarat only to discover
that the Archibald Prize paintings were in Town.
They are trying to make this a regular thing in Ballarat.
So off we went,
This is the winner...
Barry Humphries.
I thought this was Brilliant
This of a well known Sudanese Lawyer
you had to get very close to believe it was a painting!
Rhys a Redheaded Comedian.
This fellow fascinated JJ when he saw it
He is entirely painted in straight lines !!
Peoples Choice,
George Columbaris.
Only small but beautifully painted
Brett Whiteley's Widow.
I loved this...
Introduced Pests
Double Click and see the detail.
A very powerful portrait.
One of my favourites
Gary McDonald
As Creswick is the Birthplace of Norman Lindsay
and the family home was demolished.
They have reproduced the Sitting Room in the Ballarat Art Gallery.
This is the street where the Family Home was.
What an unbelievably Artistic Family !
Just because I love clever signs !
Looking up towards the Art Gallery
on Lydiard Street.
From there a lovely lunch,
followed by a trip to Lake Wendouree
This is The Prisoner of War Wall...
WOW !
Are you looking at me !
A Musk Duck
up close and personal !
And the Wendouree Monster ?
And then the rain came....
