Firstly, Jean-Marc and I were really disappointed that we didn’t win the print, all our ballot rigging would have had George Dubya (and Jeb) and Bob Mugabe cheering, instead, fairness won the day. And what a fair and impartial hand to draw the winning card from the lucky dip bowl - the lovely Gabrielle Haumesser.
This cool, framed Rennie Ellis print of Bondi Beach, complete with Certificate of Authenticity was won by, Linda Brainwood - freelance picture researcher. Congratulations Linda! She was thrilled, and her wall will be thrilled to have it hanging there too!
Many thanks to Manuela and Kerry at the Rennie Ellis Photographic Archive for contributing the artist proof. Special thanks also, to the guys at Acme Art and Framing Gallery in Surry Hills for doing a fantastic framing job in such a short time. The expert advice and archival materials used were first class.
