Colour


The Diva's Weekly Challenge #136: "Colour Colour Everywhere"

Fortunately I had a few coloured pens in the 'craft' drawer of the campervan. 

 
Inspired by Aboriginal Art
 
Our journey have taken us over the Blue Mountains into Sydney where we stayed at The Lane Cove National Park, in the peaceful setting it was hard to believe we were just 11 klm from the centre of busy Sydney. On our way we made a special stop at the artist Norman Lindsay's Gallery for a tour of his studio and garden.

On our drive down the New South Wales coast we spent a wild and stormy night at a seaside village called Mollymook then over the cool Snowy Mountains.

Fog as we drove over the Snowy Mountains. There was even a sprinkling of snow
quite a contrast from the heat of the desert a few weeks ago.

    Well, I quite liked the first tile, then after another look or two I saw the lizard !:D! in the second. Now it's my favorite! (And I really must get to Australia sometime.)

    These are both so different but equally great. You have a versatility that is unique to you. I love seeing the way you make a challenge your own. While both are great, I have a preference for the first.

    Perfect! I love the gecko (?) Love seeing all that beautiful wisteria - mine is just forming flower heads (it's been miserably cold in Melbourne).
