My Retrospective Exhibition
Gin Gin, Bundaberg Area

The Gin Gin Regional Courthouse Gallery proudly presents My Retrospective Exhibition, the March exhibition by Charles Brian Floate. Brian has been painting on and off until he retired from the police force in 1987 and has been painting seriously ever since.

Brian says that artists who have been inspirational to him have been the greats of art, including Rembrandt, Titian and many others including numerous art galleries and many books and videos. He has successfully taught portrait painting and pencil drawing classes over the years including teaching at the U3A (University of the Third Age) in Victoria.

Brian enjoys painting portraits, seascapes, landscapes, animals and still life all in realistic style. He says when he sees something that he feels should be painted he must do it straight away no matter the time of day.
