Online Exhibition Day - I was covered in Bull Ants

In the Bushes covered in Bull ants / And then my dog rescued me

Day 3 of my little online exhibition. Every day this week I am posting a new painting. This one comes with it's own story.

These two paintings happened accidently, and as they came together the story emerged.

This is the story of an experience I remember from my early childhood. The story goes that as a four year old I was hiding in the shrubbery in the garden, where unbeknownst to me there was a large bull ant nest.

Thanks to my dog, Blondie, named after the singer, I escaped reasonably unharmed I believe.
