Denis Napthine… Well I already painted his portrait…

Ted Baillieu
Denis Napthine, Charity Portrait

So I’m not known for my portraits of politicians, but I finished this portrait last year for a fundraiser for ArtLink, helping students with special needs continue to have the chance to make art…It’s still available for sale…

When I did the portrait of Denis Napthine, Ted Baillieu was still in power for the Liberals in Victoria. I asked Denis for one word that would describe him to all.

‘Determined’.

Was his answer. It seems he was and is. Pre – Emptive?

A little one

Lately with the help of my friends I have been tramping around Melbourne and getting them to run amok… with a cardboard box on their head… Some are more adventurous than others and the result is sometimes… humorous…
