‘Head On’ Portrait Prize at State Library of NSW

This is a free exhibition on at the State Library until June 23, 2013. I visited this morning and, of the 40 or so portraits, I finally managed to narrow down my favourites to two: Rihanna by David Maurice Smith and Black Dog by Mark Greenland. Choosing just two favourites was difficult; there were at least four or five others I could have chosen. Each portrait on display is accompanied by the story behind it. This exhibition provides plenty of food for thought and is worth seeing.
