BUTTERWORTH: With deft brush strokes, 15 artists here captured the scenes of ferries in motion as their way of saying farewell.“Times must change and these old ferries need to be replaced. Our drawings will help preserve the memories, ” said Osman Saidin, 71.
He was the most senior artist among those from Persatuan Anak Seni Utara (Pasu) who participated at the event on Sunday.
They had stayed on the ferry Pulau Angsa to immortalise the old ferries with their brush strokes.
For two hours on Sunday, the artists of Pasu, whose ages ranged from 14 to 71, worked diligently to paint the scenes.
