ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS PAINTING FOR THE SHEILA ASTOLFI EDUCATION FUND.

Mother MARY MCKILLOP, was an Australian Nun who worked tirelessly to care for children.
Many poor children were educated because of the schools she established.
Jolie, Karen (bffs] and myself visited her orphanage in Kincumber, on the Central Coast, NSW where she housed children who would have otherwise be on the streets.
She  didnt take rubbish from the system, was thrown out of the church, lied about and her reputation smashed. But she stayed  true to her dream and stayed on course regardless.
Last year, in Rome, Mother Mary McKillop was honoured as a Saint.



Sheila Astolfi was a women local to the Central Coast. Sheila worked tirelessly to house homeless. Sheila died last year of cancer but has left behind an
education fund for children of parents who have no money,
so  proceeds of this painting, go to support the wonderful legacy of Sheila Astolfi.

ROAD TRIP. on the way to Nanango. 3'x4'  121.8x91.4


GOOD DAY. BONJOUR





 
Staying with friends near Noosa and
 karenn, a friend since school,
 rang inviting me on a ROAD TRIP to NANANGO near Kingaroy in QLD

to visit an old railway cottage that was moved to the site from somewhere else.
They have been  fixing it up. The cottage was lived in by her father
and as he has been unwell , the family have been fixing it up
so to have a place to stay when they visit Stan the Man.

KARENN HAS A FAN...this room has been redone and very airy.
we made a little spot from wot we could find, to do makeup.



REFLECTIONS.


at the top of the stairs
BUDDHA, which karenn found thrown out
on the gold coast ,  so she put it in the car
and now he has a new home.



ON A BEAUTIFUL BALCONY. the wild birds are friendly and visit often, magpie, parrots
and Apostle birds..which curiously hang in groups of 12
and have markings around their eyes like ninjas.




ACROSS THE WAY A BILLABONG AND WHITE CRANES.
EARLY IN THE MORNING I SAW A FOX ON HIS WAY HOME..never seen a wild one before
AND A  KANGAROO WAS SITTING UNDER A TREE.
BILLABONG.


WATTLE FLOWER



MUSIC PLAYED.


RECLINE AND RELAX


KARENNS PARENTS were TOGETHER....sooooo long !
MARRIED LIFE.


COFFEE LOVE.
