..................................................................................................................
Over The Dam, by VIVA Anderson , .is my abstract impressionism response to the Australian outback country, the landscape, , sometimes so green and fertile, other times so parched and dry. An aerial view of a country property, the red roof/house,and its surrounds,for grazing,and growing. Very Abstract, square format,celebrating beautiful natural nuances of colour. Celebrating - GREEN ! Celebrating TEXTURE !
"I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me!Sep 7, 2001.......Dorothy McKellar, copyright
Green contains the powerful energies of nature, growth, desire to expand or increase. Balance and a sense of order are found in the color green. Change and transformation is necessary for growth, and so this ability to sustain changes is also a part of the energy of green.

Hi VIVA~~An especially poignant representation & description of the weather's varied affects on the Australian outback and how the land seems to rally to every extreme that nature sends along, offering a form of beauty no matter what! It's a splendid abstract piece and the colors are stunning! Fine work! F&L!!

After watching a documentary on the Australian outback fires it was very clear how much is lost in news reports . Green has such a soothing power over stress and unbalance .Vast spaces as the desert and the ocean create that peace as well . Our eyes long for peace . Thank you for creating peace
VIVA Anderson replied:
Susan, wonderful thoughts! Always it is tragic when the fires loom, much like USA. But, the spirit of the people who 'know the land' here, and the pitfalls, still live blessed lives in 'the bush', at risk, bravely. Worth it, !, especially when ii is green! Appreciate YOU, TOO, VIVA

Love this abstract, VIVA. resonates, so true. Can see the fence lines of the paddocks. Love the red roof. My childhood home on Kangaroo Island had a red tin roof. And there was a patch of scrub nearby. Xx
