Troll under the Trees

\

Well yesterday, in the pursuit of happiness and the Australian Dream, I went for a drive to Lake Maquarie Gallery.

There I found a series of prints made by Australian Artists, who had allowed themselves to be overtly influenced by Japanese prints.

So I oohed and ahhed and was pretty mesmeirised. And even bought the book.

So, this afternoon, when I decided to do some scary trees, I revisited the troll under the bridge.

And this is what I found.

That the Artists who had visited Japanes prints had 'contaminated' my mind.

Well, I hope they had. :) Of course these aren't Japanes prints. But it was interesting to see the influence that they had had.

The small image above this text was the one I was in search of - as far as scary trees. But I still can't get it right!

Thank - you for looking.
