Happy New Year

Revisiting an old work as a new year begins: Beacon, 1995, oil on canvas, 50 x 40 cm.

The painting resurfaced during our move from Melbourne to Ballarat in 2019, so it has become a signifier of new beginnings in more ways than one. 

New Year’s Eve was also Shane Jones’s and my anniversary; last night marked 32 wonderful years. A celebratory meal at Oscar’s in Ballarat was followed by a pyrotechnics display that we modestly believe was unparalleled anywhere in the world - forget about Sydney Harbour. 

 

Wishing you a Happy First Day of 2025 - and also the remaining 364.
