Spring Exhibition at Local Art Gallery
The Alan Baker Art Gallery in Macaria has launched a new exhibition for Spring 2019.
The exhibition has three themes:
1. Local Landscapes
2. Flora
3. A Model Wife: A Model Life.
1. Local Landscapes
Alan Baker's local landscape painting captured The Oaks and the surrounding area. Baker loved painting en plein-air with the breeze blowing in his face so he could feel the air around him and take in the environment.
