Andrew Lo, Carole Burns, Jacky Jones, Peter Leung, Anne Macpherson, Jenny Roxburgh, Daisy Hsu , Christine Winterbothom and her friend Angela participated in this visit. We had a simple lunch at the Gallery CAFE, joined the conducted tour by a Gallery guide, supplemented by Daisy, Andrew and Peter. Daisy also handed out some Art Gallery notes on the background of Chinese landscape paintings. After the tour we all sat down and watched the AG video made specifically for the exhibition. Many paintings were by highly regarded painters such as Ba Da Shan Ren; Wang Gai who was the author of the most influential instructional manual on painting - the Mustard seed garden manual of painting; Wu Zhen who was the author of a bamboo painting manual. We had also viewed a long scroll by a Qing dynasty painter Wang Yuanqi , the painting was covered with seals of four Qing dynasty emperors, talking about the proof of authenticity! This is the third visit by Peter Leung and Andrew wants to go back again - an exhibition well worth the visit.
- ACPS group exhibition at the FINK Café in Willoughby in June- all details to be discussed at the meeting.
- It has been decided at our last meeting, that we'll give the Ryde
and Parramatta exhibitions "another go" in 2008 - BUT, we
do need your support i.e. your participation………..the
committee is encouraging you to start thinking about and painting of
course for these upcoming exhibitions.
Hopefully, we will see you all at the next meeting
Happy painting and kind regards and
KUNG HEI FAT CHOI for a successful year of the Rat
