More from Woolaston in the Gallery that follows.
Nolan, Boyd, Fred Williams and two of mine. Australia as I have it in my bones.

Arthur Streeton exhibition at the Art Gallery on NSW . (Dead Link)
If I were flying I’d love to see this exhibition in November.
I inherited a Heidelberg School book from my father, it’s full of Streeton and familiar to me. Australian impressionism.
