Inland sea abundance

Part of a series I'm working on... Inland-sea has not been around for a 100 million years or so... except as a myth.. nevertheless that hasn't stopped explorers and others to this day fantasising about its possibilities... this painting is more about the drying clay pans ( mini Inland-seas ) that in central Australia mean an ephemeral existence for many inland fish... the white depicts the drying salt lakes, the fish in various states of existential difficulty.

My first 20 years were spent in southern NSW on a farm on wonderful grey box country, then..
University at ANU surrounded by scribbly gums.
More recently south coast of NSW amongst beautiful spotted gum forests.
In between times I studied art at RCAE Wagga and TAFE Goulburn in the spare time I had running a business spanning 40 years.
Artist's trips to Alice Springs and beyond over the past decade have rekindled my interest in the textures and colours of Central Australia- ghost gum country...
There's a pattern here...
For the past 10 years I have been exhibiting and selling successfully in Sydney.
