We went to New Farm Park to photograph the beautiful Jacaranda trees but unfortunately the rain from the day before had knocked down most of the blooms. So we went to the Power House next to the park to see the Brisbane Portrait exhibition.
There were some Jacaranda trees still with blooms.
Fallen blooms floating in the puddles.

Anne-Marie Zanetti painted Dean Merlo who's name is synonymous with coffee. He is a famous for introducing Australia to Merlo Coffee. The Power House was repurposed and renovated some time ago to house exhibitions, theatre performances and restaurants. Much of the machinery and later graffiti remains in the building.
Rick Everingham painted Vince Anello famous for his hospitality and humour at his Deli in New Farm.
Jaq Grantford painted his friend, Andrew Betterham, a famous Brisbane musician. If you look closely there are millions of music notes surrounding him.
