Pastel paintings

spinifex with storm clouds in the background. this will be used for the basis of a painting in one of the children's books I'm writing. I'll redo this same scene with an emu and probably a lizard or gecko or something in it.

this one was painted on one side of the waterhole we camped at looking across to the other side. the kids started sitting with me but slowly drifted off one by one as it took me about an hour and a half and that is too long for the kids to sit there. again, this will be used as the basis for a scene in the book.
