Ned's FJ Journey is a compilation of all that is uniquely Australian. Ned's journey will be told in 10 prints, each altered by painting in another Aussie icon. This amazing journey will take 3 months with a new (1 of) print available to followers every 2-3 weeks. The final altered print will be completed on Australia Day, 26th of January, 2010. This original work depicts Ned in his rusty decaying FJ Holden, about to set off on his journey from Ayres Rock. For those who are from other parts of the world and may be following Ned's journey, let me take this opportunity to briefly describe the elements in this painting. Ned is arguably Australia's most notorius bush ranger (outlaw). The FJ Holden is to Australians, the same as the T Model Ford is to Americans. Ayres Rock, I prey, ........needs no explanation. Quality acrylic paints have been used in a way to promote vivid colurs, worthy of the Australian outback. The rust effect has been layered over a black helmet until the desired effect is achieved. At times, a rough textured cloth has been used to achieve the dimpling effect. On the 27th of October, Ned arrives in Sydney. Check out the Habour Bridge!!!
