Say not the struggle naught availeth . . .

The Gunns20 exhibition finishes tomorrow; thank you to all my Melbourne friends who took the time to go along, and particular thanks to those who sent donations to the Huon Valley Environment Centre. Big hugs to all of you.

Reactions to the exhibition were mixed, as expected, and one or two people thought we were just preaching to the converted. However, even the converted need to be informed of what is happening beyond their suburban back yards! But we are encouraged; we will carry on; we have nothing to fear but fear itself. So gird your loins, grab your Kipling, once more into the breach and let's give the beggars what for, what?

By the way, here are the paintings I exhibited.
