Selected Recent Exhibitions from 2022 and 2023

A collection of my very recent Blue Mountains was featured at Day Gallery in Blackheath from 10th to the 26th March. I called the show Our Backyard as most of the subjects for my paintings are from that side of the Blue Mountains. Here is a link to the works from that show- https://daygallery.com.au/catalog/category/Rhett%20Brewer%20Our%20Backyard

In 2022 my painting of the view from Georges Head to Vaucluse was featured in the publicity for the second Mosman Art Walk . It was a public art show which raised money for the art department of the Mosman High School. My 2024 entry, Robertson Lighthouse 61cm x 122cm is shown below.

In August 2023 I travelled to Mackay Queensland to paint in that region. I was part of a group of professional artists who share a love of plein air painting and drawing and have been working in many locations around Australia since 2012. On this trip were- Tim Allen, Brad Short, Michelle Hungerford, Charmaine Pike, Julia Griffin, Chris Langlois and Ron McBirney. We are working toward a big project show at Mackay Artspace in April 2025.
