This work is from the early 1960’s when Valerie, newly married, had moved from Perth to the wheat belt of Western Australia. She depicts the desolate vegetation surrounding the salt lakes on a cloudy day, successfully evoking the eerie soughing wind in her image of the unfolding curves of dead bark, blue shadows and the falling fence. Pastel, Framed size 64cm x 72cm, (NFS)
