Kangaroo Fear

For me one of life's loves is being able to share my home and surroundings with our native animals. To see Kangaroos leaping over fences and grazing is a joy. When I hear of Kangaroos being culled because they are a pest. It saddens me and makes me angry. It seems like humans feel it is our right to give and take life as we see fit. I heard a vegetarian enviromentalist today complain about the roos feeding off native plants. I don't get it. He is not native himself and I have to worry when intelligent (hippies in the day) speak against nature. What must the older generation of farmers be thinking of our national emblem "The Kangaroo".

Spirit Festival and me

I started painting this week in preparation for the Spirit Festival 24th - 26th of Feb 2012 in Adelaide. After finishing last year on a high after my exhibition "Eleven". I have enjoyed getting away from the paint brushes ever since. But like all good obsessions, its back. The love and passion to tell a story on canvas. As my ideas flood my mind and I swim through the maze of my imagination. I am looking forward to see where it all takes me. I know I will be at Rymill Park enjoying the music and mates at The Spirit Festival 2012. See you there. I will be the one covered in paint with a big smile on my face.
