I don’t often see monarch butterflies, so when I spotted this one at Hodges Gardens near Many, Louisiana, I employed my husband’s help in trying to get a good shot at it. Tommy stood guard at the upper level of the butterfly garden while I posted myself in the lower portion. Thanks to my husband’s keen eye, I finally relocated the elusive flutterer and got this photo of it to which I’ve applied some PS filters.

The Sturt Desert Pea is a beautiful wild flower that grows in outback Australia. The Original painting has sold, but not without a story. I had some people come into my gallery saying that they were wanting a painting of Sturt Desert Peas. They said they couldn’t find one anywhere in Broken Hill. My husband kindly offered for me to paint them one. They said they were leaving town in two days and could I have it finished by then? My husband said ””””not a problem”””” – he is a great beleiver. I was not so convinced, but I said I would try. I worked all evening, all the next day and evening until I was satisfied and pleased with the painting. They were due to pick the painting up the next morning. They never came back. Lesson learned: When it comes to Art people are fickle. Always get a deposit and don’t trust their enthusiasm. Always try and do the right thing by others, but don’t expect others to do the right thing by you. Getting angry at others letting you down isn’t worth the energy. / Whoever buys this print, please remember that rich beauty can come out of trying circumstances. The Sturt Desert Pea is a living example – immense beauty growing in the harshest environment. Sue.

Sunsets at Menindee Lakes can be awesome. Giclee Reproductions are available: visit www.suehodge.com.au / For more prints by Sue Hodge visit: http://ochresands.redbubble.com The following is from the NSW Tourism website: / http://www.visitnsw.com/town/Menindee/Menindee_Lake_System/info.aspx The Menindee Lakes System begins on the Darling River about 200 kilometres upstream from the junction of the Darling and Murray rivers at Wentworth. There are four main lakes, Lake Menindee, Lake Cawndilla, Lake Pamamaroo, and Lake Wetherell created from a series of natural depressions that filled during floods. The Menindee Lakes and Darling River were a lifeline for early explorers and it was thought the Darling would provide a means to develop Australia’s interior. The flows of the river proved to be unreliable causing difficulties with navigation and water supply and the idea of using the Menindee Lakes for water conservation was born in the late 1890s. Today the lakes and dams create a welcome water haven in the arid Outback landscape as well as a bird-watchers paradise where bird watching tours are highly recommended.

Emu’s have to be one of God’s weirdest creations. It shows He has a sense of humour. They are extremely curious and dumb, yet I never tire of seeing them as I drive throughout the vast Australian Outback. / Sue.

This is one of my favourites. It is actually my two eldest daughters playing together when they were much younger than they are now. We were enjoying a family holiday at the beach. The original hangs on the wall in our home, but so many have commented on it we thought we had better share it. The original has been done with a pallet knife for texture. / Sue.

The Sculptures are located on a hill over looking Broken Hill in the Living Desert Reserve. They make an excellent subject and have been photographed and painted by many. I decided to get in on the act. If you are ever visiting Broken Hill it is worth the 8 km drive to the Sculptures – especially at Sunset, or if your really keen, sunrise. / yawn, Sue For Sue Hodge originals visit: www.suehodge.com.au / For more prints by Sue Hodge visit: http://ochresands.redbubble.com

This is one of the last painting I will do while living in Broken Hill. It is a commissioned work and I am very pleased with it. Broken Hill – well I thought it was extremely ugly when we first arrived. But now I see the heritage, the blood sweat and tears of hard labour, the tough men and women of the outback and the outrageous courage of the people who live there now. The colours and textures are fascinating and the sky is magic. I have fallen in love this pile of rubble the locals affectionately call “The Line of Lode” and the Silver City – Broken Hill.

My Husband recently told the story below at a wedding. He was the speaker – what do you think he said after this to give the newly weds guidance? I must admit I was worried – but he did well making much of the story to illustrate the need for realistic expectations and hope. Want to know how he did this? You will have to ask him. My response was to paint this – and so its called “That’s Once!” Have you heard the one about the newly weds? / After the festivities they left for their honeymoon. / This was in the days when the common form of transport was horse and cart. / What is going on within their minds? The groom . . . we won’t focus on what was going on in his mind, but the bride was thinking how perfect it was. / She couldn’t help smiling at her husband with joyful expectations of what the years ahead of them would bring. / As the horse steadily plodded along the cart was creaking as the wheels rolled along the dusty track. / Suddenly the horse stopped, lowered its head and began to eat some lush grass growing on the track. The groom flicked the reins with a “giddy-up!” The horse did not respond. / He climbed down from the cart, and went and addressed the horse. He raises his finger and Firmly says: “that’s once.” / As he climbed backup into the cart his bride was smiling admiringly at him, thinking: “I love a man who knows his mind and is firm and yet patient. He will be so good with children.” The groom takes the reins and with a flick they are on the move again. / Ten minutes later the horse stops for another snack. The groom repeats the ritual, getting down from the cart and addressing the horse, he raises his finger and firmly says: “That’s twice!” / A warm sensation floods the bride’s whole being as she is drawn to this man who exhibits such steadiness, consistency, stability and self control. Again, with a flick of the reins they are off. She slides closer to her man and places her head affectionately upon his shoulder. Just as her mind wonders into daydreams of a little house, with a veranda, a garden, children playing and her man coming through the gate after a hard days work, the horse stops for yet another snack. / Without hesitation, the groom jumps from the cart, but this time goes to the rear of the cart and appears to be getting something, perhaps a whip? / But when he approaches the horse to address it he has a shot gun in his hands. Firmly he says: “That’s three times!”, points the gun and Bang! Shoots the horse dead. / The Bride sits there stunned and can hardly believe what has just happened. As her husband climbs back onto the cart, she exclaims in a tense panicked voice: / “What did you do that for?! / You didn’t have to shoot it!!! / What are we going to do now?” / The groom turns to her, raises his finger and says firmly: / “That’s Once.”

This was taken at Hodges Gardens in Many, Louisiana. I loved the little bench under the colorful trees on the edge of the lake. It was a perfect place for respite and refreshment. I even caught a glimpse of a couple of eagles soaring overhead. They were too far away for a photo, but it was thrilling to know the majestic birds were nearby. Who could blame them for calling a place like this home!

Sydney’s famous Opera House is seen here bathed in projected light during the Vivid Sydney and Luminous festival, 2009. Curated by Brian Eno (producer of Coldplay, U2 and Talking Heads records amongst other things), the two week long festival showpieced light art sculptures and light installations around the Quay and The Rocks, The main focus for everybody though must have been the organic, morphing, liquid art that danced upon the sails of the Opera House each night of the festival. Our iconic structure may have been much photographed, but how could anyone ever come up with the same colour schemes…. the lighting effects never repeated themselves over the two separate photo shoots that I did, totalling some 12 hours or more. Just brilliant!
