Dennis Mealor – Art <dm@dennismealor.net>

One of my all time favourite  photos in my archive files.

The setting was the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery Artist-in-Residence apartment. I lived there for 6 weeks after the 2013 Bundaberg flood swamped my house. The gallery offered me the apartment until my place was fixed. And rent free, so good of them. Was a bitter-sweet time, having my house inundated and most of my goods and chattels destroyed. Yet, a memorable time at the apartment, right in the CBD, and on the first floor above one of the main streets. Then there were great times like this, a photo shoot with Deb. Obvious I guess, the plant was not real, which maybe sums up the feeling back then. After that flood, nothing seemed real for some time.

The art group was The Brag Trade, Bundaberg, Queensland, in calmer times. Life drawing was not the norm for the group, but well worth a go. And a good time was had by all. Still waiting on life drawing to resume, after the C-19 lockdown. Won’t be long now, hopefully. Stay safe.
