Fondly called ‘Cik Gu Mansor’ even well after his retirement, he was a dedicated watercolourist noted for his charming oeuvre of secluded kampung, jetties, riverine settlements and the countryside. He was also well-travelled, and despite his failing sight in one eye, painted with the same gusto. This work records his time when travelling in Australia, during a trip to Melbourne in the 1990s.
