Oops.... If I told you this has been bought by one of my collectors within 1 minute of being online, would you believe me? True!

I drew the underlying drawing for this in 2010, just before I moved from Perth to Sydney. This and approximately 60 others have been in a state of suspended animation since then, due to a very unbalanced work/life situation. Only in recent weeks have I begun to revisit these and finish working on them.
Finally seeing these works in vibrant colour, I feel I am breathing new life into them. This one in particular, being inspired by Rothkoβs colour-field paintings, is flooded in rich reds and watermelon pink, beckoning our little heroine into the wild, as she sits in a pool of cool aqua, contemplating her next move.
I finished painting this last night, 8 December 2018, while listening to Little Bird, sung by Annie Lennox.
