While we were living down the end of a dirt road at Currency Creek, SA, we
had a German Shepherd called Dillon. He also appears in 'Interior with
Dog', 'Interior with Oranges', 'The Nude in Art' and 'Ken and Brian'.
One day, we were strolling down this dirt road with Dillon, when he
took off after a cat, killed it, and sheepishly brought it back
to us, not knowing quite what to do with it. Nor did we, come to that.
Anyway, when we said, "drop it," he obediently did so, right
in the middle of the road, so I went home, got my camera, came back
and photographed it. My husband, Ken, said, "You can't do this,
Liz!"
The horse in the background of the first photo is Cooper, my lovely chestnut
quarter horse, who also died.
Anyway, I painted it as a series of memorable photos pinned to a wall, along
with other memorabilia, (that's our son, Brian, in the sea) and a friend now has it hung in her lounge.
