| Central Australia trip in 2001 | |||||||||||||||||
|
Bob and his wife travelled to Central Australia during August and September
2001. The journey was mainly for Bob to experience the "outback"
atmosphere
and color, to paint, and to collect reference (photos) for further paintings in
the future. The journey took the couple to Adelaide, Coober Pedy, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kings Canyon, Alice Springs (and surrounding MacDonnell Ranges). |

| Much time was spent sight-seeing, and exploring the areas, and some painting. About eight paintings were painted on location. However, many more were painted from photos later, resulting in a total of 30 or so paintings from the trip. | |||||||||||||||||
