Tim Minchin by Artist: Sam Leach, Winner 2010Grandma was in town and we knew that she would be at the Archibald Prize in the NSW Art Gallery from 10am in the morning. We headed off to the City by bus and made it to the gallery by 10.10am. Bought our tickets and went downstairs to the exhibition. Meeting Gran and Jenny in the portrait section. They had been travelling from Northern NSW by car and plane since 4am that morning and were only in Sydney for the day. This year the Archibald was won by Sam Leach for his portrait of Tim Minchin a comedic actor. It was the smallest entry to win only 60cm by 80cm, in oils and fibreglassed. It had the appearance of a very glossy water colour, and while small by Archibald standards was a stand out entry.
we don't have a bus back to the Crag in the middle of the day so then it was off to lunch and The Australian Musem. See the above entry for photos of this adventure.
