EXCITEMENT came in all ages when Inglewood District Health Service hung works of art in the town hall.
Headlining the show was the painting of a blue wren by Wilma Innes, awarded first prize for resident art in the Inglewood and Districts Health Service show.
Wilma’s wren generated enthusiasm with patrons who included students from Inglewood and St Mary’s Primary School who had their own works on show, mingling with health service residents who were bussed to the town hall for their special show.
Paintings by residents had been completed over the past two years, some made into greeting cards that now raise money for the service’s leisure and lifestyle activities.
Residents and their families took turns selling the cards to show patrons over two days.
Also on show were works by acclaimed Australian artist Jessie McQueen Mackintosh.
They came from the private collection of Roslyn Scafati, who passed away earlier this year, and her husband Enzo.
A selection of Roslyn’s paintings were also included in the show.
