Landscapes and locomotives

An exhibition of work from Jeff Rigby, "From Bullaburra to Patonga", will be on display at the Bakehouse Gallery Patonga from now until the end of March, according to gallery owner Ms Jocelyn Maughan.

Ms Maughan said the exhibition displayed "exquisitely finished, highly perceptive accounts of landscape, the built environment, and, the love of Jeff's life, locomotives.

"Jeff mainly works in charcoal and watercolour wash, a felicitous coupling that gives both strength and sensitivity.

"The works are currently on display in the newly-refurbished 'over the road' shop front gallery, Bay St, Patonga.

"Jeff regularly exhibits in city galleries and has been purchased by Parliament House, Canberra, as well as most of the State collections.

"A book of Jeff's work, Sydney the Harbour City (which recorded the disappearance of Sydney's architectural heritage) was published in 1988."
