This Autumn Weekend has been perfect  to take in a visit to Sydney to see one of  Australia's most prestigious Art prizes -The Archibald at the Art Gallery of NSW
With weather you just couldn't beat and everyone out and about, Sydney was inspiring and energetic. It's a great city.
 
 
 
But ....back to the Art:
It's subjective - that's a given, so with that in mind, here is KDW's pick:
 
Our Winner: John Emmerig's portrait of Justice Stephen Gaegler entitled "Gaegler" for it's raw strength, and powerful contrast of colour. The steely character of this man shows. His gaze is humble but direct. Beautiful looseness combined with restraint. A definite winner!
