Here’s the link to the entire set of Dad’s exhibition photos. The photos don’t give much of a sense of scale — Artarmon galleries — Sydney’s oldest art gallery, I believe, features three rooms, all of which were utterly packed. Hundreds of people turned up for the opening, including three staff members from the Royal North Shore hospital. A nurse from Grenwich hospital — a Japanese woman who Dad had gotten on with particularly well, sent him an enormous bunch of flowers.
My photos are not properly labeled. I need Dad online with me to accomplish that task and that’s not going to happen for a couple of weeks at least.
Rob noticed that a couple of Dad’s paintings feature ghosts! He’s pointing to a yellow figure whose head is most definitely transparent

I’m glad the event went so well. Everyone looks proud and happy.
Interesting re: ghosts in the pics! I saw an amazing painting by Alfred Konrad called “Summer Afternoon”. One family in the foreground, with another, ghostly family behind…
Funny thing is, when we pointed the (rather obvious to us) ghost in Dad’s painting, he really couldn’t see what we were on about. Different perspectives, I guess.
That’s interesting! How old is the painting? I wonder if he’s just forgotten about it? Any other ghostly paintings?
painted within the last 10 years. There’s another one containing a see through person too — it doesn’t surprise me that Dad can’t see the ghosts. He’s a ‘different drummer’ kind of guy.
I’ll see them in person when I return!
remind me when you’re coming back again?
Flying home Dec 12.
I promise not to ask again
Wonderful, we will get over there soon.
cool!
