Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

In outback western New South Wales, there are many large sheep stations. The shearing sheds on these stations have a lot of character and many stories to be told.
I've slept in many old shearing sheds over the years and their character, their distinctive smell, their old timber structure, the old iron stoves, holes in the walls, the adjoining yards, the landscape they are set in, the vegetation and their often remote locations, make them a wonderful subject for artists and photography.

The painting is an outback desert landscape near Uluru, blue skies, bright orange soils and at the centre of the painting, is one crazy cute Echidna from our past, when giant mega fauna roamed our country.
It's eyes are wide and fully open and it is standing erect and looks like a crazy cat ready to attack or defend itself.
It  may have been poked or threatened with being eaten, but on closer inspection, there are several foot long giant ants starting to climb the long legs of the 'Your Chidin", hoping to eat it.The central Australian desert is dark at night yet the stars above are brighter than those in the city.
Two emus and an aboriginal warrior stand in silent observation and thoughts as they look towards the "the rock", its reflective orange surface is a beautiful silhouette below the Dark Emu  that is somewhat hidden by the stars. There is an underlying respect.
The warrior can only be seen from certain angles and in certain light.
Many won't see him at all.
Why?
Lack of respect?
Tears flow across the dry parched earth of the surrounding outback landscape.The Collingwood captain  (# 10) Scott Pendlebury (captain, legend and making his 29th Finals appearance in the first 2023 finals game (7/09/23) and Jordon De Goey (#2) watch rising star Nic Daicos (#35), take a screamer over Carltons # 1 Jack Silvagni.
The scoreboard see the Pies leading the Blues by just 9 points in another close game.
The crowd is cheering and urging their team on.  Carn' the pies, go the blues, the intensity is vibrant.Fireworks light the night sky and  produce a most magnificent silhouette of the many highrise buildings in the central business district of Brisbane City.
The Story Bridge is ablaze with vertical and descending fireworks of every imaginable colour which provide a visual kaleidoscope reflection on the river below.
Multiple launch points have been months in the planning for the fireworks choreography, from river barges and atop the high-rise buildings and bridges.
Restaurants, party boats and parklands are jam packed with revellers and excited children, all keen to get the best vantage point to watch the jets and huge planes fly between the buildings to the awh of the mesmerised n lookers.
From the backyard, we get a close up look at the skyworks, where friends and  family gather around a barbeque and a few celebratory drinks.
