On the road: colours and varnish
It takes about 7 hours to travel from Sydney to Albury by car and longer if you make a detour to Canberra to see the Masterpieces from Paris exhibition at the National Gallery, an exhibition of paintings from the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. What surprised me about some of the paintings were the unreal very shiny varnished surfaces.
