Trams on King William Road

Went to see the opening of the Uta Mooney and Adam Oehlers exhibition at the Greenhill Galleries today (see my Adelaide - the backwater of Australia blog) and I saw, covering a door in the hallway a Pro Hart representing the first trams on King William. The asking price $20,000. Checked my pockets, my wallet, the balance on my credit card and I've decided I'll make my own.
I've used the panel that Amanda van Gils used to pack her painting. On the back she wrote: this is very good to paint on.
So there you have it - now I have my own copy of Pro's painting and on the back Amanda's autograph.
Recycling has a new and improved meaning.
