11.06.2022 Billy Doolan 2009 "Pettirosso Dreaming" acrylic on linen 120 cms 90 cms. This moving and sublimely beautiful work is one of a series of eight paintings the ar...tist produced after his visit to Sicily in 2009. The birds shown are endangered due to habitat loss and Billys' environmental concerns add another layer of meaning to the piece. See more

22.05.2022 Nice article in the local Myrtleford newspaper. Hans has represented me for 20 years and is showing Maria Tomaino the president of Club Savoy my paintings. They hang in the main area of the Club.

30.04.2022 My pieces are now proudly hanging at Club Savoy in Myrtleford. More of my works are being hung there in the New Year. I was a guest of La Fiera last year and my Sicilian series paintings were shown at Myrtleford Gallery by my good friend Jim van Geet. Club Savoy is part of the North East Aboriginal Art Trail run by Aboriginal Exhibitions Gallery which has been my agent over many years.

15.01.2022 Feeling honoured that Jim has chosen me for another portrait. Thank you Jim.

13.01.2022 Have just been told that my portrait has been completed by Myrtleford artist and friend Jim Van Geet. Too deadly Jim! Thank you for this great honour and I love the choice of my brolga as the background.

08.01.2022 Feeling really sad as I received news that my favourite cat Kitten has passed away. I was her favourite person with Hans her owner and she was always willing to help while I was painting.

05.01.2022 The Godfrey Hirst design team paid a welcome visit to the gallery today for some further design ideas based on Billy Doolans' artworks. They provided the backdrop for this photo.

05.01.2022 My "Mount Buffalo, Bogong Moth" painting has been sold to a good friend. It measures 160 cms 120 cms and I completed it last year. Jim Van Geet at Myrtleford Gallery stretched the painting and had it on display. My agent Hans handled the sale. Bogong moths were an important scource of protein for Aboriginal people in the alpine areas of Victoria and NSW.
