At our last well attended meeting at the Benalla Art Gallery we listened to a lecture from Anna White titled My Father's Garden. Anna is a local Artist who we hope will agree to talk to us again in the future.
Anna showed a short film actually shot in her Father's Garden with her doing a dance in the modern idiom. The film had extracts of what it was like after the last bush fire and the degree that the plants and trees can revegetate.
Anna also explained her development as a painter and her interest in colour and technique. She showed various examples of her paintings. Some of these paintings were done using an unusual method of putting paper down over paint already applied to canvas and the resultant paper after being peeled off becoming the work of art.
The session finished up with a vigorous question and answer period.
