We went to Cowra Regional Art Gallery for the first time. It's a small gallery, 3 modest rooms, but they usually have really cool exhibitions on. When we visited they were showing the finalist paintings from the Calleen Art Award and the Central West Regional Art Awards. There was some really interesting stuff.

Cowra has changed so much from when I lived there in the 80's. I certainly don't remember an art gallery of any size!
I'm partial to Genevieve Carroll and Georgina Pollard's colourful pieces, but love the use of purple in Anita West's one too :-)
Thanks for the tour of the gallery...gorgeous art! And thanks for visiting my blog.
Love the bell... I have to Google what the weight is in pounds :)
Great pictures...the art is absolutely lovely! Thanks for sharing!

That Matthew Quick painting reusing classical imagery is amazing - thanks for sharing, as I don't think I've seen his work before.
Maybe the art will be on sale on your next visit. Or you will have the necessary $8,700.
