“Praying for Rain” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © “As the farmer knelt down on the salty sand, / He needed rain to save his land. / The crops were wilting, the cattle all dead, / He looked around, not a word was said. / The ground was dry, where is the rain? / What could stop this worthless pain? / The farmer cursed in sheer despair, / He did not have a drop to spare. / A thundercloud covers the western sky, / A bolt of lightning explodes near by. / The farmer looks up and begins to pray, / Hoping that the rain will come his way. / Then drip-by-drip it starts to fall, / The crystal water like a clear glass wall. / The trees and flowers all in bloom, / Then once again, gone is the gloom. / The water fills the old parched creek, / The rivers bulge as the waters peak. / The mud squelches through the farmer’s dry old / hands, / As he thanks the Lord for saving his land.” / ~ Meg Hayes Year Seven / St Mary’s Primary School Featured in the: Redbubble Homepage – November 08 Recent Sales: 1 x Card – unknown buyer 1 x Card – unknown buyer 1 x 40” x 27” matte canvas through Fine Art America – Jessikalyn – America / Thank you so much to everyone. / Part profits donated to Starlight Childrens Foundation Australia See “Praying for Rain” at my website /

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.

Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (dark blue) 70cm x 50cm Silverton Creek has been painted thousands of times by many artists, and this is my version! The town of Silverton is just on the edge of outback Australia and up the road a bit from the mining town of Broken Hill. The whole area is such an interesting place to visit. It is an artist’s paradise!!! As you can see there is absolutely NO water in the creek, but the eucalypt trees throughout the creek area are simply magnificent.

Taken just beyond the Mundi Mundi lookout 6 kilometres outside of Silverton, near Broken Hill, NSW. Further on is the Umberumberka Reservior. The views are vast across the Mundi Mundi plains, the road seemingly never ends as it wends it’s way through the outback. Thank you for looking.

Silverton, near Broken Hill in far western NSW, Australia. (While you’re there, go to the pub with Mad Max’s car parked out front, go in, ask to do the Silverton Pub Challenge… don’t ask, and don’t tell!)

Captured just short of Silverton, outback NSW, looking back towards Broken Hill. I had to stop the car to get this, I could see it in my rear view mirror!! Thank you for looking. I am delighted to offer a collaboration with my dear friend Nat Hall from the Shetland Isles who allowed me to feature this awesome piece of writing alongside. This is part two of Nat’s poem called Virtual Check-ins To see the whole piece please look here and take time to browse some awesome shots of Nat’s beautiful homeland :D Shetland – New South Wales What time is it in your garden? Night of swallows, your eastern stars, / my sole bearings; feel it, black bird, / I’ll turn our planet upside-down! Slow spin, SE. Austrian Alps, just saw / Elvis sledging on ice. / Altimeter out of control, / I rocket like a meteor. Torn remiges above Thailand, / I might fix them in Kimberley or / in Queensland… Let me adjust to this brand new blue horizon. My homeworld, this distant décor, / cold fingers stick to your / sunrise – / I won’t look back, / Venus is blushing in deep space; / now I’m flirting with / your coastline, / I’d love to see your / great outback. / In suspension on this tropic of Capricorn, / I need sun shades! / Angel, kestrel or rocketeer, / I hear noises, voices, / Brisbane… To the last leg, / God’s new country – kestrel-angel, / now hovering above your town. / Down a few blocks, / St Mary’s school, two cockatoos perched on pine trees – / d’you see me now? / I’ve just pin-pointed your garden. © Nat Hall 2007

Rain in the outback is always a treat. This storm hit us while we were in the Barrier Ranges about 40kms north-west of Broken Hill, far-western NSW. With all the raised dust, the clouds were getting a nice pink tinge. This image is best viewed larger, enjoy…................

Filming locations for the movie MadMax II – The Road Warrior 1981 included parts of Broken Hill and Silverton / A replica of Mad Max’s V8 Interceptor is parked outside the Silverton Pub. / The original Interceptor was created using a 1973 Ford XB GT Falcon Hardtop (XB GT Falcon Coupe) as the base vehicle. Normally there are many care parked to either side of this vehicle. So I decided to head out again well before sunrise. Well, there was still a 4WD to the right….bugger.
