Bud Tingwell a tribute.
Iconic Australian Actor Bud Tingwell passed away in May 2009, many of you will know Peter Biram painted his portrait for the Archibald Prize this year and wrote about it exclusively right here. It’s fitting I give Peter a chance to say a few words in his memory.
Remembering my mate Bud…
When I heard of Bud’s passing I was greatly saddened, the magic about Bud, was he made everyone feel so welcome and special. He made me feel like I’d known him for a very long time. I feel sadness at his loss because of the things, which could have been.
There has been renewed interest in the painting, and it will be in the Victorian Salon De Refuses (for Victorian Artists works which did not make it into the Archibald prize final selection.) Which will be at the Smart artZ Gallery, 2 Alfred Place, South Melbourne, June 17 – July 12.
