066 Lake Adorned This is an original contemporary Australian semi-abstract desert landscape painting, Inland lake in the middle of the Australian desert. Filled with water at last, after a seven year drought. Dotted with freshly hatched water creatures. Migrating and native birds by the thousands greedily exploit the new abundance, they feed, they thrive, they multiply. The lake -- before it evaporates and dries
up -- is adorned with jewel-like colours. Frantic movement above
and below the surface, a procession and celebration. Then the activity gradually slows down and
the billabong reverts to its previous dry lifeless state. In the end it is just a
memory, but what a memory!
