Acrylic on canvas (including floating timber frame).

I have hundreds of cousins! My mum being one of 11, we have plenty of first cousins, let alone the extensive family tree and kinship networks. This painting is set at the river, where the wind blows gently, and if you are quiet, you can hear the old people speak to you. I bet this lot though are not quiet!

I use trees in my paintings to also represent people. The trunk is our body, the roots are our connection to where we are from or are, and the foliage is growth.
