I met an important judge in my life while wearing a mustard-coloured shirt, which inspired the painting titled "The Good Judge." I met him in Darwin, and if he is still […]
Rain falls from the sky onto the sand dunes, creating rivers that symbolize the loss of innocence and the blood that flows with it.
