Way back in my February 2017 blog I told you all about the intrepid Green Tree Frog I found in my letterbox and about the painting it inspired called ‘Land Acquisition Order’.  I ended the blog saying the story would continue in a couple of months. Emmm is that a typo? Did she really mean a couple of years? Whoops, how time flies. For many months now, I’ve been gently removing a number of tree frogs from my outside spa. These guys are not going anywhere in a hurry, especially since I’ve had to stop adding chemicals to the water in case I cause them harm. They are such gentle and mild beings and I love how they cling onto your hand looking all calm and collected whilst being transferred to a more suitable spot for tree frogs. Like a TREE. Anyway, this prompted me to continue the story from Land Acquisition Order and I imagined what the frog and spider might do after vacating their letter box in the town suburbs. Images of the intrepid duo flashed through my mind of them braving workmen and bulldozers as part of their journey or to finding their way to the inner city and facing the perils there. As a person who cares about wildlife you can get focused on man’s negative impact on our wildlife, but the poor buggers have their natural and imported predators to dodge as well. Hence the reason for my new painting ‘Out of the Frying Pan’. Our intrepid pair have found their way to rural Australia only to discover they have a whole new set of problems in their search for a safe abode and a happy ever after.
