This original painting by Catherine Fitz-Gerald has us feeling sentimental.
"My mother made this gown of French ribbon lace, loving it’s textural, sinuous curves and wore it when she presented The Festival Theatre the Ruby Award for Best Festival. Why pair it with figs? Because she loves them and a friend gave me these three from her tree, especially for her. I had only moments to create the composition before Mum gleefully ate the figs." - Catherine Fitz-Gerald
