Albert Moriarty

Thursday was the funeral for Bert Moriarty, who would have been 99 at the end of this month. Bert lived on Bowen Mountain and was a local character... an artist, a storyteller who spoke his mind, and an engineer who could make things!

Bert would occasionally drop in to the Piggery when I used to be in there regularly and I painted this portrait of him in early 2012.

I have two paintings by Bert.My ex husband knew him. Had the pictures for
30yrs or more. One was still on his easel when I saw it in his studio looking out over the valley.He wasn't too happy with it -so he gifted it to me when it was finished because I loved it.
