Surviving Timber Cottage. Black Saturday 2009. Original signed oil painting by Rossco T, framed on stretched canvas, 16"X12" 41cmX30cm
Rossco T, contemporary Australian artist, has captured the juxtaposition of a surviving timber cottage with lush forest regrowth and the skeletal remains of towering mountain ash trees from the cataclysmic Black Saturday 2009 firestorm. Silver in the sunlight, a haunting reminder of that day where almost 180 people died and more than 2,000 homes were destroyed.
