Building Site

This sleek tropical style house was under construction when this painting was made. The cube on the bottom left is a crate of bricks and the splashes of orange in the middle ground is the discarded plastic used to protect the timber supplies.

With the demographic shift to the coast in recent times came the inevitable home building boom. Because I have only lived in older established neighbourhoods previously, seeing houses under construction was a novelty which prompted questions about architectural and environmental suitability and the tenuous sense of commumity.
