Towards evening in the hot, red sand country of Australia's inland, wildlife can be seen heading in for the nearest waterhole to quench a raging thirst. As drought and dusk settle and heat gives way to the cool of evening there comes a moment of stillness when many animals like Emus and Kangaroos come to sit peacefully side by side until their thirst is sated and once more head back out to solitary browsing. This painting which is entitled 'Dusk' shows a western grey kangaroo drinking alongside a red kangaroo in a rare scene I witnessed at a heritage listed property called Ned's Corner on Victoria's Murray River.
