Here are some of my paintings below in the Moombooldool series. Moombooldool is located between Ardlethan and Barellan on the way to Griffith. ‘Moombooldool Mega Fauna’ is number three of a series of paintings of the Moombooldool mallee remnant. This roadside strip of vegetation is a sad relic of a former natural wilderness. One can only imagine the Mega fauna of 60,000 years ago… The three metre ‘Dromornis stirtoni’; a monstrous goose-like bird roaming with thunderous foot falls and eerie calls across the landscape, or giant lizards and oversized cockatoos plodding and screeching at the roadside as I drive to work.

‘Moombooldool Reverberations’ is number four of a series of paintings of the Moombooldool mallee remnant. This roadside strip of vegetation is yet another sad relic of a former natural wilderness. Fragments of birdsong and glimpses of birds, mammals and insects mingle with the hanging Mistletoe and vines and the umbrella crowns of the mallee trees.
