Review:
Gordon Dickson Studio Gallery is an interesting addition to the range of art attractions in Yackandandah.
The gallery highlights the work of an accomplished landscape painter whose watercolours capture the light, atmosphere and character of different environments.
The former motor garage building adds a historical dimension to the attraction.
Families with children who enjoy drawing and painting may appreciate seeing the work of a professional artist, particularly the different approaches used to represent landscapes.
This is a specialist art attraction rather than an activity designed specifically for children.
Visitors should contact the artist before travelling, as regular public opening arrangements have not been confirmed.
For art enthusiasts exploring Yackandandah, the gallery is a worthwhile potential stop when access is available.
