DROVERS RUN Yep, Drover’s Run as in the exact same one from McLeod’s Daughters. Miles and miles away back in South Africa me and my family would be glued to the tellie episode after episode. We laughed with them, we cried with them & was heartbroken when the series came to an end. I grew up on the farm so enjoyed the farm life stories & girls kicking arse. So when I came upon this beautiful photograph of the homestead in such an idyllic setting I just had to paint it. This one is for the cast & all the other "McLeods" fans out there.

FIREWORKS Referred to as the 'Flower of Blood' by some Koori groups. This name comes from a legend which tells of a young woman who escaped marriage to an elderly man by eloping with her young lover. The shunned man with some of his friends tracked the couple down and killed them both, as well as the relatives with whom they had lived. Sometime later, the old man returned to the place where he had slain the lovers and found the ground covered with the scarlet flowers that we know as the Sturt's Desert pea. 61 x 76 x 3.5cm - oil on canvas $1,900

IF LOOKS COULD KILL Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline. With lions just lying about for 20 hours of the day it’s no wonder they have plenty of time to look after their appearance, because it’s clear to see that with a mere flutter of this lion’s eyelashes she can easily seduce her prey into submission.

STRETCH A fact well known about giraffes is that on any grassland or savannah this guy stands head & shoulders above the rest, but something less known is that the Bushmen of southern Africa have medicine dances named after some animals. The giraffe dance for instance is performed to treat head ailments. And how the giraffe got its height has been the subject of various African folktales, including one from eastern Africa which explains that the giraffe grew tall from eating too many magic herbs. So lesson for the day slooow down on your magic herb intake! :) 51 x61 x 3.5cm - oil on canvas $2750
