WHEN WE SHARED THE COOKING

In “The Drover’s Wife”, Henry Lawson paints the picture of the deprivation and hardship suffered by a lonely wife in an isolated outback landscape.

In ‘When We Shared the Cooking’ Phil explores similar themes, especially the resilience and teamwork necessary to master the tough working environments often encountered in moving a large mob of cattle long distances.

Using predominantly blue pigments to capture the freezing night air we glimpse a wife and her droving partner at day’s end. Huddled over a warming campfire an exhausted stockman dozes while his partner busily prepares the reviving hot meal that also provides the energy for another long slog tomorrow.
