Weather predictions were not good so we decided to check out the National Gallery of Victoria.
We spent time in the National Gallery looking at some of the older paintings in the collection including the Rembrandts.
Following an excellent lunch in the Gallery we moved to the Ian Potter Centre where there was an exhibition of Australian Impressionists. This was a massive collection of Australian paintings brought together from many galleries and including all the iconic Australian masters.
I was particularly taken with a painting of Gardiner’s Creek by Tom Roberts in 1885. It was most likely painted within a couple of kilometres from my childhood home and I had spent time as a boy playing around in this creek.
