This year's Royal Melbourne Show was a new experience for me because I was asked to judge some of the art on display, along with my partner, Deborah Klein. We judged the prints, paintings and mixed media sections, and as a guess, we probably looked over 70 works. This might not sound like a large number, but we had to grade and comment on every single entry. It was a tough day, but also a pleasure, especially since we had two excellent assistants, Helen and Catherine. Another pleasure was the great lunch that was put on for all the workers in our building - you were certainly made to feel at home. Both Deborah and I are looking forward to next year when we'll come back and do it all again.
