Have you ever visited Murwillumbah? No? It’s a small town in the far north of New South Wales – gorgeously lush and with the Tweed River flowing through it.
When you stay with friends and they are busy in the morning doing this and that, it is a great time to sit and admire and remember the view with a sketch. This is from their back porch.
This is what I wanted to remember:
– The size of the magnolias remind me of the warmth and generosity of heart I felt through the conversations with various people I met over the weekend.
– The wire gate, fence, timber parts gathered from here and there reused creatively to make spaces for guinea pigs and chickens.
– And out there, in the wider landscape there are cane fields and mountain backdrops.
Thank you Leah, Neroli, Ena, Reuben and all your delightful friends.

I like the drawing, it evokes the place. The picture is a good distillation of your feelings. Both are lovely.

Yes, I’ve been there, in late 2003, making a holiday-break journey after a harrowing three years, lifewise, healthwise and emotionalwise. I like the friendly vibe there, of its people and the physical environment and climate. Wish I lived there, to be frank! Along with Bangalow, if I could afford it!! I like your painting of the magnolia with the gate, it has an olde worlde look to it that I like.

I can imagine anywhere near this area would be soul enriching. I enjoyed from the passion of my friends and their friends for the environment and treading lightly this earth. Thank you as always for dropping by.
