Bendemeer Art Show organiser Margaret Hemmings has volunteered there for about 25 years, and says she recommends people look for different colours and aspects of a painting or photograph.
"It makes your mind good," Ms Hemming, a seasoned artist herself, said.
Suzanne Mazuran was passing by with daughter-in-law to look at the hall where she will be getting married later on this year, and was pleasantly surprised to see the art exhibition.
She said her favourite among all the pictures was the painting of the flowering gum by artist Natalia Rudnick.
"Now I have no dogs and children at home and I have managed to grow one, and that [painting] is it to a 't'," Ms Mazuran said.
"We went to the Sydney Royal and saw the art there, but this here is beautiful," Ms Mazuran said.
