Plein Air Oil Painting, ‘Piano Lesson’ by Anna Goldsworthy

I drove to Tooborac, 1.5 hour drive, north-west of Melbourne this afternoon. 

There’s a wonderful pub, Tooborac Brewery. I always get something from this place. 

This is Tooborac-Baynton Rd. The area is fascinating. Lots of boulders scattered around. 

Always very peaceful. My favourite ‘retreat’. 

I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in. 

After late lunch, I set up a camping chair under a tree and listened to this audiobook from BorrowBox, ‘Piano Lessons’ by Anna Goldsworthy. A blissful time. 

This is a lovely memoir, and she reads it very well. It’s a shame that I’ve never heard of her. Although it’s very short, I was captivated by her life story. 

I’ll definitely keep an eye on her career as a musician and a writer.
