Paroo river by

pigment, acrylic, pastel, graphite and stitching on paper
sacred site – where the water serpent laid its eggs – on the Paroo river on a dis-used outback sheep station, between Bourke and Broken Hill…..
sublime, powerful and talks to me still…….lived there 5 weeks in silence with the thrum of the earth sounding through every cell…..beyond description

    incredible, you write “beyond description” yet with these amazing mixed mediums and the stitching which i love the idea of you described it perfectly here…..incredible…..gallo

  • thanks so much Gallo…I like to re-visit works and feel out if they still convey the place and voice and happily this one satisfies… and I was surprised because I had ditched it..

    So lovely, such colors & looks such a magical place

  • a very stunning place pinky, but also very dry (it used to be that is…prob under water now)…and SILENT…big desert can be very confronting…I was very happy to feel creative there and find my place, by the river, with the enormous river gums…..yes magical
