Old Foes
The better half and I thought we would take in the Northern Bellarine Arts Trail today and it was well worthwhile.
Our first stop was Bennet’s Winery where we enjoyed a delicious platter of cheeses, smoked fish and eel and cured meats (and a cheeky
?). The works of art were displayed around the venue and one that caught my eye was “Old Foes”. It depicted Carlton and Collingwood players involved in a melee and it captured the scene really well. I couldn’t recognise any players but numbers 13 and 43 were prominent. The umpires were in contemporary colours so it’s meant to be a fairly modern scene.
It really did capture the rivalry and atmosphere of a Carlton-Collingwood clash and I was tempted to buy it. However, the thought of having Collingwood colours on one of my walls put me off ... as did the price tag.
Anyway, if you happen to be on or near the Bellarine tomorrow, drop in to Bennet’s and check out “Old Foes”.
