No.32. in my series of short stories.
The Beverley Skurulis Art Gallery is a renowned artistic hub where the art on display has been captivating enthusiasts and collectors alike for nearly two decades.
Situated in Latrobe Tasmania the gallery is a treasure trove of creativity, showcasing over 60 years of Beverley's art, which is an eclectic mix of the contemporary and traditional.
When I first came across this 1865 building in the Main Street of Latrobe it was definitely showing its age. For a year or two I not only renovated but rebuilt much of it.
New walls, floors, ceilings and roofing, even re-stumping the complete building. Recently re-painting the internal walls of the gallery with a lovely red.
The back of the gallery leads into a beautiful courtyard garden where I am the designer creator gardener. The garden is filled with several types of ferns and deciduous trees.
Often I will get ideas from these plants and paint them into my art work.
The large back deck is often used as a backdrop for me to lay my art on when I am painting backgrounds, whether in oil, acrylic or spray, this regularly leads to the plants in the garden being several shades of everything but green.
A lovely place to live, paint, and enjoy life like I always have done. You must visit the gallery if only for some inspiration, my art is colourful and fun, my hope is to keep my world and yours a beautiful place to be.
