In a gallery filled with vibrant colours, bold brushstrokes, and imaginative interpretations of birdlife, one painting quietly drew people in �E��E The Watcher by Lisa Bishop.
With its masterful depiction of the Tawny Frogmouth�E��Es natural camouflage and its signature sideways glance, the painting evoked a sense of intimacy and nostalgia.
The Watcher is more than a painting, it�E��Es a personal homage to the quiet observers of nature and a heartfelt nod to the bond she shared with her father.
�E��EA huge thank you to everyone who visited the exhibition, cast their votes, and supported our local and interstate artists.
