THE LATEST PAINTING


Last week, Marg began and finished another painting in the series WHEN I CONSIDER THE HEAVENS. This one, number 5, is called 'A Cloud of Witnesses.' The key figure is David Unaipon, the indigenous man whose face is on the $50 note. Unaipon once stayed with the Price family when Marg was young and she remembers the time vividly because her father, having invited Unaipon to speak at his church, was in trouble with some parishioners who did not approve of having an aboriginal man in the pulpit.

It is now being framed and will be hanging soon at Artastic Gallery, 781 Nicholson Street, North Carlton, along with other recent paintings of Margaret's.
