The Harbour exhibition is on until 1 September and can be seen from 10.30 am to 3.00 pm at Shop7 ArtSpace Gallery Bermagui every day of the week except Wednesdays. Meet the artist on duty while you’re there.

My new painting of the majestic albatross that graces our water will be included in the exhibition. Many years ago, I’d go fishing off Bermagui where albatross would soar between the waves. Sometimes they’d pick up the lure we were trolling and get hooked, so Dad would gently reel it into the boat and fearlessly remove the hook. The gentle giant would walk around in the boat for a while until it jumped up on the side and flew off. What an honor to be so close.
