This is the interior of his studio with one of his famous original paintings.
The cream caravan beside the old car, is what Hans Heysen and his son David went to The Flinders Ranges in when he painted many of his wonderful paintings.
Today we met up with Jane for lunch...an old uni friend of Dave's. We had lunch at The German Arms Hotel in Hahndorf. It was yummy. We didn't go for the heavy German sausages...too filling for lunch. After lunch we went to The Cedars...Hans Heysen's property in Hahndorf. He is long gone, died aroun 1968, but his grandchildren still own the 10 acre property where he did many of his paintings. We had a tour of his studio and home where we saw lots of his original paintings, His daughter Nora was also a very good artist, and some of her works were also there.
After The Cedars, we had a bit of a walk around the shops in Hahndorf, then went to Jane's to see her new home, and some paintings she did for an exhibition she had...in Rome I think when she worked there. She also cooked pasta for dinner...all in all a good arty day.
