    This one is great along with many others in your art collection. You are a very talented artist. Have you done anything with the observatory at the Warrumbungles, or have you just stayed with “nature”?

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks Ian, I was very baffled with the observatory, I had some idea it was possible to walk into and up to the top of it, but all we got to see was some pics. I guess I show ignorance as to what is available to non scientists.Maybe you need to book?? Anyway we just camped amongst the kangaroos etc,and did a bit of walking. I can’t walk far or for long but I did enjoy getting up before dawn to take some pics.[from the camping ground] I have a couple here] I did a sketch from the tourist centre of this scene and worked at home later for this .
    I did some other sketches from the top of some walk, but haven’t used them .

    gosh long winded! I should have just said no and yes!

    Fantastic! Those trees in the bottom foreground set the perspective. Beautifully done!

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks love the park it was very cold early in the morning too when we were there.
    I suppose you have sold the pic?

  • rightasrain

    rightasrain

    Forgot – I did an oil painting of the Warrumbungles years ago. It’s such a vibrant area, even in the cold when we went!

  • rightasrain

    rightasrain

    No I haven’t – I still have the original and it was just a bit of fun for myself. I haven’t sold any of my work except for cards here but no originals have sold. I just muck around with paints.
