Content Summary:

Notes from Janet Hawley: In January 2012, over a week, Garry Shead painted a large fresco in a glass walled pavilion at the Bermagui property of Philip Cox, architect. It was a long process to organise the fresco, and I basically co-ordinated the project. We were all there while Garry painted the fresco, and I kept a daily diary, with contributions from Garry Shead, photography by his partner Rose Gissing, and entries from other guests staying at the Cox property during the fresco painting. Bill Brown, ABC south coast journalist/cameraman also filmed the fresco being painted, for a film. Philip Cox made a second diary, all cartoon-style drawings, of the fresco progress. The characters in the Cox visual diary include Philip Cox, the architect, Garry Shead the artist, Mark Stanford Fresco assistant, Rose Gissing, Garry's partner and stills photographer. Bill Brown, camera man film maker.
