I had just cleaned up and was wondering what to watch on my iPad when I get a phone call from David the owner of Possum Park. “Do you like fireworks” my response was “yes”. “Bring your camera and a couple of ginger beers”.

As I rode around the corner I saw an orange glow and a tree on fire dropping sparks. David was stood next to his bobcat and pointed to a tree on fire and said “bush Fireworks” which became the name of this painting.

I have been photographing tree and stumps for years and since February I’ve been addicted to sketching them.

I was staying at Lightning Ridge in 40deg heat and decided to take a day trip in my air-condition car to see a few of the outback pubs, since visited the other attractions like galleries, opal mines and gift shops.
