I was somewhat bemused to read a small article in the Courier mail- January 24-25, 2009,about a new exhibition by Qld artist Nick Leahy. The arts editor, Suzanna Clarke, asks the question-" why hasn't it been done before?"
It has, Suzanna. We just haven't got around to doing exhibitions yet.It is a little bit difficult if you live miles from nowhere!! Perhaps we should ask her to give us a plug??
Good on you Nick, though. Great to see yet an other interpretation.

Autralian bushfires
Flood zone to the north.-Drenched by Monsoon
Never have the words of Dorothy McKellars poem " a sunburnt country" rung so true, as now.
" I love a sunburnt country
a land of sweeping plains
of rugged mountain ranges
of rugged mountain ranges
of drought and flooding rains"
Ahh, the true Ozzie plight. One day it is paradise, the next it is hell.
Australia is a tough country. It is difficult to imagine that in the north, half the state is under water, and in the south, the drought and bushfires are crippling it's people. My thoughts go out to those in need, and I hope that all you who read this have donated either time, money or effort
to the victims. It could be our turn next. Who knows.
The art I have created may have already disappeared.
