Artist comment: Commissioned by a Melbourne city couple with an upbringing in the bush, my main charter was to bring this "bush" feel into their home.

I had a woodworking friend "slice" the face off some 100 year old fence posts to create the post and rail border, which I attached to the fibro backing. I also needed to cut holes out of the backing to accommodate the holes in the fenceposts - you can see straight through them.

Having spent time in the bush myself, this was a great piece to work on. The colours in the bush really are quite briliant, and constructing the rusty old truck was quite a novelty. The homestead also was quite interesting - there was some very fine cutting involved with very little room for error.

I had some nice ribbed silver tiles that made the water tank, and the kelpie sheepdog was possibly the finest detail I've dealt with - took me three attempts before I was happy with that!

I think I'll explore more rural scenes like this one in future!
