      <image:caption>Evelyn Florence McKenzie is a saint or should be. She immigrated to this country between the two world wars and left a life of performance on London stages to become a farmer's wife, raise a family in rural Queensland and struggle during the depression.

      <image:title>landscapes - The Lighthouse</image:title>
      <image:caption>Acrylic on canvas 76 x 61 x 3.5 cm Some purists say you shouldn’t paint from a photograph. Easy to say when you haven’t been seduced by the photography of Sean Quinn - Twodogs Photography.The colours that he captures in our local environment inspired me to start painting landscapes and seascapes. With Sean’s permission I have been relaxing into interpreting the beauty he captures. The Lighthouse is seen through the lease of a drone as Fingal Lighthouse dots the jagged coastline. Contrasting colours of the ocean and land highlight the bright white structure. $400 email refreshme2016@gmail.com if interested</image:caption>

      <image:title>the figure - Class Photo - Greycliffe</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mixed media, oil on canvas - 40.5 x 50.5cm My mother was part of the silent generation. Born in the 1920s and growing up on a pioneering farm in Western Queensland. She glossed over the details and romantised it for us which is typical of this generation. Since her passing I've worked to fill in some details and located a class photo. Her smile remained with her into her 90s but the photo showed a scruffy group of children who looked unnourished and somewhat impoverished. This paining includes words that her older sister wrote about their experience and that my grandmother had cried for three days when she saw the shack they were to live in with hessian walls and dirt floor. I'm tracing the truth and giving a voice to this silent generation through my mother's image and stories.
