Composition Study for Indignant Lucy: Limited Edition 100
The first piece in The Toutte Series.
Inspired
by the somewhat confronting juxtaposition of modern day care and concern for
the flora and fauna of The Coorong wetlands vs the harsh and sometimes brutal
reality experienced by early settlers.
Captured
in acrylics, a little girl’s indignant stare, as her father, the lighthouse
keeper, seeks to augment his income, satisfying wealthy Victorians somewhat
repugnant desire for unusual and exotic “pets” as status symbols.
