Finley Lake Painting

This is my third year living in Finley, where I teach Visual Arts at a local High School. The Landscape here is very different to what I am used to on the coast. It is flat, vast and dry, surrounded by Canola and dairy farms. When I am missing the smell of the ocean and sand between my toes, I take a walk around Finley Lake or down at the Murray River. I've spent many afternoons walking around the lake with my dog and fiance, appreciating the beauty of the willow tree hanging over the still water, reflecting on my time living at Balmoral Beach and Dee Why in Sydney.
