Misty Pond

I really love this one. Painted from one of my own photos. I was lucky really. I was living in Tamworth NSW Australia at the time and it had been so long since I'd seen snow. It was winter at the time and I'd heard reports it was snowing up at Hanging Rock, in the mountains above Nundle. Well I got my boyfriend to drive me up there. It's about and hour or so from town.

There wasn't that much snow when we got there and we decided to head down the road a bit further. The road had been closed off at Sheba Dam so we went in for a look. There wasn't much snow on the ground, but this painting is one of the sites we got to see.You can see the reference photo on my SXC account here.

Update: I was talking to my mother on the phone a few days ago and this place was mentioned. I'm told this old bridge/walk way is no longer there. It's been pulled out and replaced.
