Ellis House in Bayswater

Out walking and taking pictures and happily found the Ellis House Community Art Centre.

"Ellis House was built in the early 1900's  and was the first dairy farm in the Bayswater district. By the mid 1990’s it had fallen to neglect and vandalism, but in 1995 it was refurbished by the City of Bayswater and is now a fine example of an early settler's home."

The exhibiting rooms were sprinkled with artists and their easels.  Met friendly artists, saw works in progress, and enjoyed the surrounding gardens (which will be the subject of their paintings this Thursday.)

Artist: Ian Medcraft
