The Unveiling of Light and the Cinema

What a night it was last Tuesday. A black-tie event for the unveiling of my painting Light and the Cinema. The evening was hosted by Bryan Putt and Megan Finlayson at their 16-seater home cinema, CINEMA EUREKA. We were also treated to a screening of Cinema Paradiso, one of my favourite films and also the inspiration for the name of Bryan and Megan's cinema, The screen image in the painting is a still from the film so it was great to show Cinema Paradiso and the painting together. 

Megan and Bryan are so generous with their cinema events. Wine or soft drinks before the film, coffee and cake afterwards, supplied by our hosts, and of course a discussion about the film as well. 

Thank you Megan and Bryan for the many special moments you bring to so many people and I'm thrilled that you are now the owners of this painting.
