My second daughter is the subject of my fourth and final painting in this series exploring the connections we share as Australian women across generations, family, culture and the shared foundations of our lives expressed through native flora and fauna.
These everyday markers, represented by common birds and native flora of Australia, become the quiet constants in the background of our lives whether we are on the coast, way out west or in the CBD. We barely notice them until we are travelling, homesick or unsteady, and suddenly these familiar forms pull us back to ourselves. They are the touchstones and hooks we hang our coats on in times of stress or confusion, the grounding forces that guide us home.
I did not understand the gift I was being given when I had my children. The love is big and indescribable. Charlie carries a bright kind of fire. Strong willed, playful, protective and shining, she brings both joy and spice in equal measure. She is a force in my world and lights up the darkness for me without even realising it. I could not love her more.

There are a couple of serious loves in my life and this girl is one of them. Not quite sure how I survived before you arrived Bella?
My eldest daughter is the subject of my third painting exploring the connections we share as Australian women across generations, family, culture and the birds that are a consistent presence in the background of our existence, before we arrived and after we are gone.
