On selling the collection in 2004

“Selling one painting is like ripping a page out of a book, each painting tells a story, don’t rip the book apart, keep the pages together, keep the stories together …”

Elaine and Gordon Syron’s vision was always to establish a retreat for First Australian artists on their property at Magnetic Island, near Townsville QLD.

Maybe it is time for the Keeping Place Network of supporters to help Gordon and Elaine realise that vision at Horseshoe Bay!   It would also make a nice place for the supporters to have a short winter break and catch up with Elaine and Gordon in what looks like an idyllic place to inspire artists.
