Kathryn Cleland ​- Love Where We Live II

Meandering through fields of golden new growth decorated with snippets of colour and  set against a hues of a developing storm, I found myself reminiscing about the days of  red dirt and crops as far as the eye could see.  
Uninterrupted greenery down to the ocean without the mass of roofs signalling  developing seaside suburbs nor the giant cranes of a new hospital rising rapidly where  sweet potato rows once thrived in rich soil. 
When the beauty of the Tweed was still the best kept secret. 
My fondness lies in the past yet my reality lies somewhere between developing suburbs  and state of the art healthcare. 
Without a resource to guide me and my mind wandering with visions past, my paintbrush  became my guide as it swept across the canvas creating the image you see before you.
