2026 ANZAC Day Painting I
Acrylic paint on loose canvas

In recent years I have painted one or two pieces on or near ANZAC Day. This one was inspired by reflections of the cultural significance of the Day in my childhood.

On the Day, my sister and I put on our best dresses, walked to the opera house, sat up in the gods to listen to old men telling war stories. I didn't understand a word of it.
