QLD vs NSW covid border lockdown
This is an painting I did with the $2 paint from office works and a cheap art journal from the newsagent. We went for a holiday down at Coolengatta and stayed a street away from where they had locked down the border between QLD and NSW. It was probably the first time I sat down…
