photography, painting, installation and trout

we spent 4 beautiful sunny days camped on the foreshore of lake Macintosh, near Tulluh
the lake treated us to superb weather,and vibrant, sunrises

I could not escape the landscapes dominate presence, I got out the paints and Suki and I played around

I am going tribal out here in the Western Wilderness of Tasmania. My sheep skull has been burning a whole in the back box of the car. I found it at Arthur's Lake at Easter time. I also have a wombat skull, with the beaver teeth intact, which I found on the the side of the road. I want to paint them now and make a feather head dress. I have titled the photograph above and below, Peace Offering 1 and 2.




and to top off a fab stay Rod caught a brown trout 55cm long. We smoked it for 3 and a half hours on the fire. We ate half and made the other half into a creamy garlic smoked trout pasta.
