As you travel in the outback of NSW you always see a mound of dirt with usually a windmill next to it. These are tanks or as I know them from the coast, dams. They attract all types of wildlife and also have nice trees for shelter around them. This is one of several we saw on our day trip from Broken Hill to Menindee. As the country was so good from all the rain emus and other birds where everywhere.

Travelling the far west of NSW as a district relief teacher and seeing the landscapes inspired me. I was fortunate enough to meet Eric Minchin one of the “Brushmen of the Bush” who taught me the basics of oil painting. I still travel to the outback mainly around the far west of NSW and the Broken Hill area. Occasionally with my daughter‚ Sarah‚ who is a photographer (http://frankly-photography.com/) who captures those iconic outback scenes which I never tire of painting. Since moving back to the mid north coast of NSW I have started painting some scenes in my local area which I also find enjoyable to paint.
