Barktown Light

Heidi Garner

Barktown Light

This was commissioned by a friend who just missed out on buying ‘Peace’ He paid me, then said ‘do a picture for me’ :) So I kept along the theme of ‘Peace’ Except ‘Barktown Light’ is the bush across the road from me. I have the pleasure of walking my dogs and riding my horses in (and painting) this beautiful place. Acres of crown land, that many people use for recreation, and all where I live.

    So delicate…..you are lucky to have such a beautiful place to go.

  • Heidi Garner replied

    Thanx Alexandra. I live in the small town of Boolarra, Vic, Australia.that has been the attention of the media of late because of the devastating bush fires. I was lucky, my house survived, but this place and many others I have painted didn’t :(

  • Alexandra Felgate

    Alexandra Felgate

    Yes Bushfires are incredibly frightening and devastating things, and it makes me SO angry that most of them are deliberately lit. (I also live in a high-risk area)
    Glad to know your property is OK, and please pass on my regards to anyone who hasn’t been as lucky, they are always in my thoughts during this sort of heat.
