Rosie and I walk the track

I carry my board and easel

She carries her stick

hoping dad might finish the painting early today

To sit and throw her favourite thing in the world

​

The track is steep and cool in the

shade of the mountain

Ghost gums finish the work Monet began

The fire of late afternoon light burns against

the sandstone cliffs across the valley

​

Still cool air makes mixing colour easier

This is the blood of our country

All answers can be found here

In that late afternoon light 

on the bush track which always waits
