Favourite Pastels  -
Here are some glimpses of the paintings and drawings to be exhibited at my solo exhibition: Pastel Progression at Darwin Visual Arts Association, Frog Hollow, Wood Street, Darwin. The exhibition opens on 9 March 2018 and runs until 24 March. These pastels represent over 20 years in the Northern Territory and a few drawings from even before that.
