Those who joined the party over the years included fellow artist Tim Storrier and Adelaide chef Pip Forrester.ĭridan describes Humphries’ painting style as expressionist. Whenever Humphries returned to Australia, however, he and Dridan would take to the bush for a week or so, to capture the beauty of the Murray River, the Clare Valley or the Flinders Ranges.
