Fred Wrobel & Percy (the whippet)

Posted by matt (Sydney, Australia) on 3 July 2008 in People & Portrait.

Fred dropped into my expo a few times. He and his wife Elinor own and run the John Passmore Museum. I went to visit them after this and saw their huge art collection in the 4 storey Victorian Heritage Home. I hope to go back soon to take his wife's portrait.
