Maleny painter Peter Hudson has produced a striking portrait of Peter Kennedy on the cover of a new book that examines the controversy around this outspoken Brisbane priest. Kennedy was sacked late in 2009 by his archbishop for contravening aspects of
Catholic doctrine. Peter Hudson’s pastel portrait of Kennedy so impressed the One Day Hill publishers that they reproduced it on their book of essays. It also impressed ABC Television who are producing a documentary about Kennedy and will be filming Hudson in his Maleny studio as he paints an oil painting of Kennedy for the 2010 Archibald Prize.
