It was about time we expanded our collection of old masters, and here was the place to do it.
We attended the annual exhibition and sale at Studio Artes in Hornsby, where a number of intellectually disabled men and women are given the opportunity to draw, paint and do a number of creative projects.
As usual it was the social event of the year. Local dignatories and celebs turned out in force, and us of course. The talent is prodigious and you can see the inspiration of the old masters, including impressionists, expressionists, Aboriginal artists, Whiteley, Streeton, Pollock, the lot.
There were a couple of fine speeches. Food and entertainement also. Two young men performed the Haka.
We eventually settled on two fabulous abstracts which are now adorning our walls at home. We bought a Pollock and a Monet, and didn't even have to mortgage the house!
