Painting the Crimson Rosella in Copic Markers

Thank you to Philip Woodhouse, wildlife photographer, for allowing me to use his photo
of a crimson rosella as reference for my artwork.

Morning Tea.
Tuesday morning at the Petersen Dam Tourist & Recreation Park is morning tea time and the home made cake courtesy of the management, was delicious.  It was a great chance to chat and meet neighbours and the temperature was a pleasant low to mid 20's today with a clear blue sky, no wonder we have stayed on in this lovely part of Queensland. 
This is the roomy community kitchen facilities it also features a huge fireplace for social evenings during winter.

Daytime


Aside from the caravan sites there is camping sites and cabins with water views.  Dusk is a beautiful time to stroll with our dog Indigo on the lead as there are many pretty faced wallabies at the top of the hill and the sun setting over the water and the waterbirds coming in to nest in the shoreline trees is a nature lover's paradise.

This is some of the views in front of our caravan. No wonder we are in no hurry to leave.

These cheeky birds tried to steal our steak off the BBQ.

You have some of the most colorful and uniquely named birds in Australia. You capture them so well in your paintings. Brenda

Thank you, Brenda. :-) I think that Australia has proportionally a wider variety of birds, and certainly unique wildlife, than most countries. We are fortunate, and must make as effort to protect them.
