Hi John sorry about the delay but better late than never! The drawing of the School of Arts building in Stanley Street Townsville was done in the mid to late eighties. I attended high school across the road in the background when it was The Townsville State High from 1962 to 1964. I sketched it from the other side of Stanley Street.
I am now living in NZ and sold all the prints from my Aussie drawings before I left Australia.
I’m glad you like the drawing “Visitors NQ” The house was in Boundary Street in South Townsville in North Queensland on the Southern side of the road. It is a typical timber and tin ‘Queenslander’ and I expect it is still there although I haven’t been there for a few years. I drew it from across the road in 1989/90 when I lived S/West of Bowen 200 Klms South of Townsville. I now live in New Zealand. Cheers. John
It has a pencil title ‘Cool as a Queenslander’ limited edition 453/600 lithograph print 1993 of a Queenslander with palms in front. I can’t find any other title. It has your bio on the back.
Hi Peta, does the picture have a woman standing on the verandah of the house? Any chance you could photograph the picture and email it to me? Is it a painting or a pencil drawing or pen and ink? I think it is one of a house in Hermit Park in Townsville North Queensland the entire edition of six hundred sold out but I can’t be sure unless I see it. I have had many print editions over the years and I can’t recall all of them, I’m sorry to be so vague! If I see it I will remember. Cheers John

I have a framed print of the John Newman pencil drawing of the School of Arts, on Stanley Street, Townsville, N.Q. When was that actually drawn?

Hello my parents have a second edition print of Visitors NQ. I love it. Can you tell me more about the building?

Hi John, wondering where the house ‘Cool as a Queenslander’ is. Thanks
Hello Peta, I don’t have a drawing with that title, could you check the title of the one that interests you. Cheers John
