Outdoors for inspiration: Plein Air painters Rodger Stebbing, Maxine Wild and Pam Tregear at Sorrento back beach creating works for the group’s upcoming exhibition.
Artists prefer outdoor work MEMBERS of the Peninsula Plein Air Painters are covering canvasses with Mornington Peninsula scenes for the group’s upcoming second annual exhibition. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock will open the exhibition to be held at the Sorrento Activity Centre on Friday 11 March. The exhibition will run for three days over the Labour Day weekend. Plein air painters prefer to paint outside be-
cause they say they can capture the colours and feeling of a scene on-site rather than a predetermined image from a photograph or within the confinement of a studio. The group can be seen in all weathers any Thursday at locations from Point Nepean to Beleura, Mornington. The Sorrento Activity Centre is at the corner of Melbourne and Queens roads, Sorrento.

Hastings Senior Sergeant Steve Burt said the company had contacted police. “They just wanted to know what was going on, so we attended,� he said. “The protest was peaceful and gave us no cause for concern. We talked to the protesters who guaranteed a peaceful blockade. They have every right to protest and, unless they cause a problem, everything’s OK.� Organiser Kevin Roberts said workers entering
the site – at which West Australian business Decmil is contracted to supply engineering services – were asked to observe the picket line protesting substandard wages and conditions. He said his group was not union-affiliated, but was concerned workers engaged in building the United Petroleum storage tanks, loading gantries, pumps, piping, fire protection systems, and tank rooves, were being denied fair wages and conditions. “The picket line is not a union protest,� he said. “We are a group of present-and-former construction industry workers concerned about interstate companies coming into our local area and impos-
