Camping at Budgarjook

Artwork represents camping with the family at Budgarjook, my mother in laws outstation up near Beagle Bay in Western Australia. The artwork shows all the beautiful colours of the night sky. My mother in law is always telling us stories of the stars when it’s time to relax. She points out the emu in the Milky Way and other constellations. My artwork also shows the Pleiades of the Seven Sisters constellation. It’s a very calming and relaxing piece to have in any space.
