Congratulations to Cliff Hosking, one of our regular portrait painting artists. Cliff was chosen as one of the 30 finalists from over 400 Australia-wide entries, in the Newcastle Art Gallery’s annual portrait prize competition, the Kilgour Portrait Prize.
This prestigious prize is worth $50,000 to the winner and is quite an honour to be shortlisted. Cliff’s entry of his daughter Caitlin, was part of our ‘Family’ exhibition held in the Society’s rooms last November and was on display at our ‘The Hunter – Let’s Face It’ 2018 portrait exhibition last March. Sadly it didn’t win. His watercolour was subtitled ’Looking to the Future’ but Cliff says that Caitlin would like it named ‘waiting for the snow’. According to Cliff ‘the young are so pragmatic and unromantic’. The image is of Cliff’s wife, Patricia Davidson and Grantly Hunt viewing the portrait which will be on display until October 21st.
