During the last week of a recent blockbuster exhibition in Brisbane, I visited the Gallery of Modern Art, just one more time.

Those carefully placed paintings, as well as an online phone guide, helped me focus my imagination and drift back in time, to wonder at the artists’ ways with colour and light.

School kids, from a small town out west, posed to celebrate their arrival in our capital city. Their teacher was happy for me to capture this, too.
