By 1995, I had become more confident in using acrylics, and I entered several local art shows each year.<\/p>\n
The painting of Hindmarsh Square, 1986, won first prize in acrylics at the Flagstaff Hill Rotary art show, and I sold a small painting of Rundle Mall at the Glenelg art show in about 1987.<\/p>\n
At the end of 1998, I needed to defer painting due to changing work commitments, and years later I later found I was weary of an evening, so painting was then deferred until I retired.<\/p>\n

Charcoal on paper 11 x 8″, 1999<\/p>\n
Study for a larger charcoal sketch that was given to the Fehlberg family after Albert’s death.
Albert retained the encouraging nature of his teaching profession, and enjoyed seeing my paintings. He was happy for me to take photos as source material for a portrait of him, but with my change in work I had to defer painting before I started it. But I did have this preliminary sketch to give to his family after he died.
In retirement, I have started that portrait.<\/p>\n

Study for a larger charcoal sketch that was given to the Fehlberg family after Albert’s death.
Albert retained the encouraging nature of his teaching profession, and enjoyed seeing my paintings. He was happy for me to take photos as source material for a portrait of him, but with my change in work I had to defer painting before I started it. But I did have this preliminary sketch to give to his family after he died.
In retirement, I have started that portrait.<\/p>\n

The building has since been “modernised”, and Jetty Road has been developed into very popular cafes and coffee spots, so the footpath is never uncrowded as it was in 1998.<\/p>\n
