Portrait of an Australian Story Keeper
Australian gum trees fascinate me. The extraordinary colours ripple through the bark and change with the light. Every time I see this magnificent ancient, I am moved to wonder at the stories held within its heart. I will never tire of the times I spend in its shade, or of the wild things which wend…
Read MoreGotta Love Tawney Frogmouths.
Tawney Frogmouths, for me, are some of the loveliest, most inquisitive and quirky birds. As my followers know, I paint a lot of them in so many ways. They are enchanting.
