At our July session at the Benalla Gallery, Bryony informed us about a special exhibition of paintings currently on show at the Gallery by the current Archibald Prize Winner Yvette Coppersmith.
These paintings - all portraits of female relatives of the painter - were painted after the death of a relative and were meant to mitigate against the feelings of loss experienced by the artist.
They are all of a high standard and indeed do give the feeling of paintings that could give solace to the viewer once we learn the true story.
