Today the gallery is open to the public although the official opening isn’t until Friday. There is still be an element of work-in-progress going on but the exhibition is a goer.
These paintings are all but finished -a few touches are still needed and the batten is yet to be painted.

I met Helen while I was painting Swan Tafe and she was taking a lunch break. She believes the railway tracks have great importance to Armadale, both historically and to the present day. They are a very powerful metaphor for travel and mobility, the coming and going, and acting as an important connecting point to the outside world.

As you can see this traveling canvas is now full of images. However, there is still plenty of work to do to finish it off, but its getting there.
This canvas represents fourteen different stories.

John teaches at John Calvin Christian School and wanted to introduce roller hockey to some of the pupils but could not find a rink anywhere locally. He was very disappointed, but undaunted he tried to find a venue they could practice. He eventually found a home for them at the Armadale Arena who agreed to host them. They are now all learning and enjoying the sport.
