Finalist in Calleen Award 2007

This painting depicts on one side, the Murray River which was once a mighty river, now dwindling and dying with the effects of cotton farmers and irrigators expecting the river to give too much. The other panel shows how instead of water being left in a deep trench such as a river with trees to shade it from the heat of the sun, the farmer takes from the river and lays it out in shallow trenches which allows it to evaporate quickly.

Beautiful patterns though making an interesting abstract painting of water use. It holds a warning though!
