*uploaded for portfolio*

this picture is based on a traditional painting i did for an art contest here which was to create an image which depicted the connection between england and australia. since me and my mum and brother immigrated here, i thought i would depict the scale of the journey we took, like moving too another world.

In every failure lies the steps to succes.

Will you dare to try and take the chance to succeed?

This deserves more attention than it has. Anyways, awesome work on the globes! The way you didn't focus much on the other continents on the globe at the top makes the view focus more on England. The use of the bird is a good representation for yourself, etc. This is overall a really good portfolio piece.

Love the concept in this. I agree, moving to a new country would be like moving to a new world. Beautiful art.

Beautiful, and reminds me of my immigrations from Ireland to England to Austrailia to the US.....ok....mine's more of a tangled web of switching from family member to family member. :\

But none-the-less, beautifully done. What drew my eye the most was the clouds on the earths (I can't draw clouds to save my life) and the elegant bird flying between the worlds.

It's so pretty...

Also: Yay England!

:? That's a very cool idea and the starkness of the colors definitely creates the effect you wanted. ^___^ Very nice job! =p I hope you won that contest!

Beautiful ^_^

My aunt and cousin immigrated to Australia over a decade. My other cousin was born there and now they're coming back States side for the third time.

I can't imagine moving that far, that often X_x
