Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
These are terrific, Joan. Both singularly and as a tryptch (?sp).

Fantastic collage! I would have that hanging on my wall. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhh.

Thanks for the nice comments. I am getting much more comfortable with the beach. There is so much lovely texture and form which I think are a tad boring of themselves but work perfectly as trios. So I taken to snapping away and seeing what comes together as a theme when I get back home.
ReplyDeleteNice contrastions. A pleasing combination of forms and colours.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the footprints the best. Textures on the beach are great.
ReplyDeleteYour triptychs were inspiring before, and you've done it again! I couldn't pick a favourite, each work so well with the others.
