Paints Abroad
Mrs. Lucie Brodie, who was well known in New Guinea before the war—first as the wife of a planta tion manager, and later, as the owner of a successful bakery busi ness in Rabaul—is now per manently settled in London, and has gained quite a lot of atten tion with her painting. Mrs. Brodie did not even put a brush to canvas until she was past 60 years of age, but in recent times she has had her pictures accepted for display in various small London exhibitions, and has sold some quite profitably.
She is now a matron at the Toe H Club in Notting Hill Gate, and has a good deal of spare time; and she apparently travels freely in England and on the Continent, seeking subjects for her canvases.
Mrs. Brodie's eldest daughter, Joan, and her family live in Rabaul. Two younger children, Ken and May, are married and are residents of Brisbane. The photo shows Mrs.
Brodie with a fellow-artist in the streets of Paris.
