Neil Armfield by Adam Cullen - National Portrait Gallery / Canberra (Sat 01 Jan 2011)
On our return from Jindabyne for our Annual Walk in the Mountains, we spent a few days in Canberra to celebrate the New Year and to visit the various Galleries. This year I would stay on in Canberra for the Australian Dragon Boat Grand Masters Seclection Camp from 02 to 05 Jan 2011 (see here).
On Sat 01 Jan 2011, we went to the National Portrait Gallery which made it the third time we have been there since the new Gallery opened in late 2008. Jenny was with us for the first visit in early Jan 2009.
The Entrance Hall features new or recently acquired works and this year I was delighted to find the above portrait of Neil Armfield by Adam Cullen. Definitely put a smile on my face when I found Neil's portrait included a yellow dog just like our Gerald (specifically here and here).
