The Boort Arts & Culture Group Art Exhibition

Written by Ric Raftis

The Boort Arts and Culture Group Art Exhibition of Colin                                                Waddington

"Moods of the day and Places I have been."


The opening night attracted a good number of people, all dressed up to enjoy the first glimpses of over 35 beautiful landscape paintings. A lot of chatting with a nice glass of wine and nibbles to complete a very enjoyable evening.

The door prize a "postage stamp size" painting of a proud old gum tree was won by Bradley Haw. Quite a few of the paintings are from the Boort area. Especially the paintings from the Bridge at Days created a great interest.

Colin has spent quite a bit of time in Boort over the last few years and has become very fond of the town and it's residents. During Saturday and Sunday Colin gave some demonstrations of painting in both watercolour and oils. He certainly makes it look easy!
