'A Walk Through the Tall Grass' - Figurative Oil Painting

I know, I know....another painting with a 'girl and dog'....it's just that I've got so many great images from this day.  I promise that I'll post something different next time. 

I had a 'bit of fun' with the grass in the foreground....I used alot of paint & really got stuck into it with the palette knife.

'Hey! What about Me?' - Figurative OIl Painting

This is one of my first paintings from our June/July Holiday road trip of Central West Queensland. 

I was a very brave girl, driving this trip all on my own, with the company of my 2 daughters. 

For my 'overseas friends', this road trip can be very lonely.  You're looking at 100 to 300 kilometres (sometimes more!) from town to town, and not much in between.  Sometimes not even passing another vehicle....except the odd road train, semi-trailers with upto 5 trailers...now they're a challenge to overtake.  And then there's the wildlife to watch out for....kangaroos, emus, camels, flocks of birds, and then there is the  crows & eagles, picking at the poor dead animals on the road....it certainly was an experience.  It might not be everyone's idea of a holiday, but we thoroughly enoyed it.  The colours are amazing, there's some beautiful places, it's just you gotta drive so far to find them.  lol
