Lest We Forget
There was a time, not that many years ago, when this was an all too common sight, in remote areas across Australia. Aborigines were not formally nor officially “recognised” as Australian citizens until 1967, after a Federal Referendum voted in favour of granting them Voting Rights (and not citizenship as such).
Racial intolerance, discrimination, and separation of Aborigines from the dominant euro-Australian culture was legalised and accepted practise well into the latter-half of the 1900s.

I’m also desperately curious as to the medium- it’s gorgeous regardless, though; I love how the face is almost completely shrouded.
Crowmanic replied
Thx, Spiffing, for taking the time to leave a comment, urgh, I mean, inquiry, er comment… whatever … appreciate your appreciation… the reference material is a photo/postcard I had in my collection, the impression is using digital “paint” tools, eg, brushes, pencil, etc with a Wacom tablet, and then finished in Ps, with the texture layered in. And please, don’t ask the time taken… its the result that matters, so I’m told??
