Des Parkin has painted since his youth, in a career which was interrupted by forty years as a physician. Ben Winspear is a third generation Melbourne-based award-winning artist and teacher, known for his oil and watercolour paintings, with a strong focus on the Australian landscape.

Ben and Des first met at Maldon on a VAS Easter painting trip many years ago and quickly struck up an artistic friendship.

This exhibition has no theme and is simply an opportunity for two friends to share a creative space. We hope some of the images allow us to share with you the pleasure we had in creating them.
