I had a wonderful article in the Herald Sun today showing the painting of Mick Malhouse. I added the Premiership Cup to the painting as a surprise. Mick was really great making time to see the reporter - he's so busy at the moment.
Thanks to Danny Finley who organised the article for me. He's a wonderful support.
My portrait of Mick Malthouse is in the Hidden faces exhibition. Come along and visit - there are some great portraits.
The Hidden Faces of the Archibald 2010 The 2010 Hidden Faces of the Archibald Exhibition opens at the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf, on Wednesday, June 2 until Sunday, July 11. The Hidden Faces, known in art circles as the Victorian Salon des Refusés, is the only Victorian exposure for 2010 Archibald entrants and provides a unique opportunity for Victorians to rival the selections of the often controversial 'official' Prize selection. In its ninth year, Hidden Faces showcases 45 exciting and diverse paintings including entertainers: Jesse Spencer (House), Li CunXin (Mao’s Last Dancer), Alan Fletcher, Judith Durham, Alex Papps, Rachel Rawlins (Principal Artist, Australian Ballet), Ross Wilson, CEO Australian Football League Andrew Demetriou, Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse and St. Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt, along with The Hon. Nicola Roxon MP, Chef Tony Bilson & ABC TV’s Barry Cassidy. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to enter the People's Choice Award and vote for their personal favourite with prizes provided by the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf.
