Rural Outlook. Driving home and piecing together all the different fragments seen along the way. Trying to see through. Vines and Branches. Off track, struggling to get through the supplejack/Kareao, clothing entangled, feet caught, water bottle dropped, knee hurt, annoyed - but hay, the trees are beautiful, the sun is shining and I can hear a riroriro. Smile. Water round the rocks, river rushing. Draw what you see. So I went out, walked around, looked about and as I wandered I drew what I saw. Shapes, patterns, colours, big, small far away, close by - whatever captured my attention. Then I made this artwork overlaying and merging it all together. Flower Garden. Plants, earth and sky, not much lawn. Leaves and twigs, not many flowers - they are yet to bloom Forest View. There is a lot going on in the bush when you stop to look, it's a little overwhelming. |
