A visit to an Art Exhibition

Last Wednesday we went to Brisbane with my Art Group to visit the Queensland Art Gallery. This is a beautiful Art Gallery in an Arts precinct on the South Bank of the river. Here there is also the Gallery of Modern Art, the State Library, The Performing Arts complex and the
Conservatorium. We went to see an exhibition of American Impressionism and Realism. Works from the Met in New York City were juxtaposed with works from the same era (around 1900) by some Australian Artists. We were lucky enough to receive a guided tour and it was a wonderful experience and a special day.
Here you can see some of the beautiful landscaping at the Gallery.

And here is a photo of the City of Brisbane taken from outside the Gallery.

Helen, I'm ashamed to admit that I have never visited your blog before but the kind comment that you have left in one of my galleries has prompted me to stop by. I've really enjoyed wandering around your corner of the world and reading about what you get up to x
