Kerry's Visit to Heath at the Archibald

[jmmgallagher]

Thank you, Kerry, for a lovely walkabout--beautiful!

Thank you, also, for "looking out" for Heath for us. I know if the painting was in my city, I'd be visiting, too--frequently! I'm so glad it was given to the museum. 

The Roman goddess on the right is Copia, the goddess of wealth and plenty, with her attribute, the cornucopia. Well, actually, Pax and Fortuna also carried the cornucopia, so you can take your pick (we know about Roman goddesses in New York, too, we got a lot of'em)!

Enjoy a wonderful Autumn as we are having a lovely Spring--

Cheers!

Thank you for that information, John. The group of statues is very large and located above the huge main entrance of the Westin Hotel (previously the GPO). The only way I could get that detail was by using my camera's zoom facility. The Archibald will close on Sunday and then tour Australia. After that, Heath will return to his new permanent home in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, here in Sydney. I will call by and say "Hi!" to him whenever I visit the gallery in future.

I intend continuing to share my future visits to Heath with all my Brokie friends. Now that the painting has been given as a gift to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, it is my intention to visit Heath each year on his birthday in future and leave one single flower on the floor beneath his portrait. It will become a sweet, loving ritual for me to perform each year, to ensure Heath is always cherished and to express my love and appreciation. You will all be with me when I do so.
