‘Tracks’ is part of the ‘Echos of Tomorrow’ collection. The background of ochre and gold acrylic ink is reminiscent of the arid Australian desert scenes. Though vast and oftentimes threatening these areas are lush with life for those who know where to look.

The Kangaroo leave their tracks in the desert sand as they traverse the land in search of food and water. Under the ground the honey ants dwell, burrowing in the red dirt, building their nests in desert places.

Here also the bush bean thrives, a nutritious bush food high in vitamins this was once a staple for nomadic tribes.

The deep tones and warm notes in this acrylic on canvas painting bring to mind sunny desert days, dry river beds, campfires and memories of trails well travelled.
