100 Great Things To Do In Australia
You've Never Heard Of
089 See the walls come alive
Kurri Kurri, in the NSW Hunter Valley, is an art gallery all its own, abuzz with works by Australian and local artists. As you wander through town you’ll notice the lively collection of 38 murals of varying sizes, a colourful project that began as a means of combating unemployment and to support local businesses. On brick walls, buildings and even a toilet block, each one is a unique piece of art showing the town’s history and culture. Here you see companion workers, there a piece with Aboriginal dot painting influences, over there a blacksmith and a Christian church scene. Each picture is fondly drawn and shows a great love of detail, bringing the walls to life. No entry fees, no sticky museum air, no darkened display rooms or restrictions for photographers – this art is displayed in a truly open, modern manner.

It is five years today since my Dearest Dad
passed away. Although he was a boilermaker
he loved to paint in his spare time.I have
painted most of the art work on this blog in
the last five years and I am sure it is his
spiritual presence that has guided me.
We will always miss you Dad.

Finished Ned and Co today.
Just have to sign and varnish...
1.5m x 1.7m
acrylic/gouache on
gallery wrapped canvas
so just inside the deadline
for the 16th April....
I think I'll do this
as a print at Zazzle...
I know my son wants
one for his bedroom
and I've become quite
partial to this one too...
normally this wouldn't
have appealed to me but
I have learnt a lot
about Harleys and of course
I have always loved
Ned Kelly's
quote "Such is Life"...
next..... 2 huge full/length
portraits to get back to and finish..
See my gallery at Zazzle
Ned is on the right.
I think I have another 2 days
before I finish and then the
painting is off to Sydney.
1.5m x 1.7m
Acrylic and Gouache on
