Neil in Adelaide

Neil, my brother, who is a primary school headmaster, was down from Queensland for a conference during September. On the Saturday he was in Murray Bridge we were in McLaren Vale at the exhibition conducting a ‘Meet the Artist’ day.

(The day was only moderately successful and the exhibition itself closed without a sale, a new experience for me. The work was well received but there were no takers. All of the work had been exhibited before, so I didn’t have a formal opening for it, and perhaps that accounts for the lack of sales. I’d always have a formal opening for new works.)



The exhibition in the Rosemount Barrel Hall - Great venue.

We managed to nab Neil for meal on the Monday night. We went Greek and dined at Estia on Henley Square. We even got him to try whitebait! A few reds, great food and a lot of chat – a good night out.
