Geoff Harvey Lismore flood 2022

I painted this image of the recent floods to help me come to terms with what had just happened to Lismore. My own house was washed away in the surging floodwaters and completely destroyed. Fortunately, no one was hurt as it was vacant at the time.

Doing this painting has been a cathartic experience. My heart goes out to all the thousands of people affected by these unprecedented floods throughout Australia, and the hardship they are enduring because of this global warming disaster.
