This painting was inspired by my feelings around images of the seemingly brutal and never ending drought in Queensland and northern Nsw in 2018-2019. The heartbreak and ruin inflicted, started me thinking about how we can cope into the future,and I realised that Mother Nature jealously stores her seeds in the ground until perfect conditions for growth occur,maybe we need to take a lead from nature and try to think out of the square, when we plant food crops, introduce trees back into the land .
