Norman Lindsay (1879-1969) is one of my most favourite artists, Australian and International, and was one of the most controversial and prolific artists, even today!

Benediction, Norman Lindsay

Those who have been to Norman Lindsay's house in Faulconbridge know what a treasure this fantastic place is. His beautiful old house is set on extensive grounds with an external painting and etching studios. It was on this beautiful property that he created etchings, oils, watercolours, sculptures, ship models that he created as a pastime. He also wrote the wonderful childrens classic, "The Magic Pudding" there. His garden is stunning, scattered with nymphs, satyrs and fountains that he created.

The property is run by National Trust as a gallery and it is filled with his beautiful works of art. For anyone that likes nudes - this is the place to be! The etching studio (1913) and main painting studio (1918) contains his brushes, canvases and printing press.

Oh... and there is a fantastic cafe there too!
