Welcome, Pamela,
I credit my exposure to Australia's 19th Century impressionists -- Streeton, Roberts, Conder, McKubbin and the like -- as well as a list of contemporary Aussie artists with giving me the push to get serious about painting when I returned to the U.S. after living in Sydney. I surely do miss the NSW Art Gallery. And I was always ready to be surprised by the local portrait competitions. (The consolation Packers' and Viewers' Choice prizes were usually more in the SOG vein than were the nominal winners.)
You did well to already come by a Daniel Greene workshop. There is none better.
Looking forward to your active participation, now that you're back on your feet.
