  1. Hi Sally, here I am, after another hectic week, to see some wonderful pictures, read interesting posts and make some boring comments! Loved to see this Henry Moore; similar to one we have in Lisbon but always stimulating. The Oxford St. picture is amazing and the NSW Gallery pictures quite impressive! Art Express was a nice discovery and your gardening is surely going to be continued this weekend. Enjoy it, while is sunny, but mind the gap… ;)

  3. Love this statue, Sally, and it has just enough space around it to be able to see it properly I think. I was interested to read somewhere that the AGNSW has received funding to somewhat modernise its entrance.I agree with you as to the building-style...it is certainly a 19th century 'temple'.

    I love visiting the gallery...always something new to see, and the Indigenous collection is great.

    Thanks for your post on Art Express...it is always an inspirational show! Sadly it isn't coming to the Tweed River Art gallery this year.

    Challenged myself with a day in Brisbane on friday, and was hoping to see the Andy Warhol exhibition before it closes.But it was very very crowded, mainly with high school students, so was content with a general wander round the gallery, which is the new Gallery of Modern Art.Fabulous exhibition of pictures from Picasso's own collection coming later this year, so looks like another Big Day Out!

    Yes, please , by all means pass my email on to Pam....how exciting!!! Doesn't surprise me at all, Sally....6 degrees of separation and all that!

  4. A stunning day, the sky the sun and art. Only a small point but was so cute to hear of the 'Mecca' cinema in your comment, Mecca - amazing! ahead of its time (and a Wurlitzer for that x factor) The Arabian was a stylish cafe here some time ago. I'd never heard a Worlitzer at the pictures.

  5. I love the sculpture! It looks like a softer version of Picasso's work without all the hard edges.

  7. Very nice pictures.

    The last one looks like a new version of a Mayan sculpture called Chac mool
