St Vincent's Hospital: February 2011

Pictures to make you smile

Here is a selection of works shown at St Vincent's Hospital.

A year ago my husband (him indoors), had a motorcycle accident. The months spent in and out of hospitals opened our eyes to the dedication and fabulousness of hospital staff. 

Hospitals can also be confronting places so the aim of these pictures is to make the viewer smile and forget their troubles for just a little while.

PS: Him indoors is making a very good recovery.

Sold: 28 pictures out of a total of 32.

Framing has been produced by Bedford Framing in Rozelle, Sydney.  Give Claude a call on:  02 9819661.  They have been fantastic.

There is a creative diary on my blog.

If you have any queries at all about my work please get in touch.

A copy of my artist's cv is here.

Thank you for stopping by.
