Famous Faces - The Archibalds

I pretty much go to the Archibalds every year. Some years, like the past two in Ballarat, are easier to get to and make for a pleasant day out. The Archibald Prize is for portraiture with a diversity of subjects, styles and techniques. Here are a few of the many 'famous faces'.

This very clever painting called The Usurpers (self portrait) by Michael McWilliams was my pick for Viewers Choice.
