<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE 41st<\/sup> Arts Prom Country Art and Photography Show, presented by the Rotary Club of Leongatha attracted a record number of entries this year.<\/p>\n

The show, which opened on Friday night and ran across the weekend, showed off 553 artworks, many of them done by Gippsland artists.<\/p>\n

Rotary\u2019s president elect Jeremy Curtis said the fantastic quality of the artworks was a tribute to the talented people who live in the region.<\/p>\n

Mr Curtis said all the money Rotary raised by hosting the art show goes back into the community.<\/p>\n

Maureen Harris Smith\u2019s oil painting titled Summer Memories Inverloch was named the best in show, by judge Clive Hutchinson.<\/p>\n

Mr Hutchison said he thought the painting was superbly executed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was so much fine detail, which speaks to Australian summers. The painting really invites you in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Hutchison said there was a wealth creative talent in the greater Gippsland area and it was a privilege to judge the show, which he said \u201cwasn\u2019t and easy task\u201d.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s featured artist was Mary Hennekam from Langwarrin, who was also awarded best acrylic for her painting Holly Leafed Grevillia.<\/p>\n
