Every school holidays at Nan’s place in Toogoom followed the same rhythm.. Days at the beach, sandy feet in the car, and swimmers hung over the bathroom rail to dry before dinner.
I remember racing my sister and cousins into the water, staying in until our fingers wrinkled, and then piling back into Nan’s house where everything smelled like sunscreen and salt, and the sound of her 60’s dance tracks competing for attention, as The Price is Right, or Family Feud blared in the background. The swimmers always ended up over the towel rail, dripping quietly while Nan fussed around the kitchen and asked who wanted to go feed the chickens.
Toogoom Swims captures a simple childhood moment, the end of a beach day, the comfort of Nan’s house, and the small details spent with grandparents that stay with us for life.
Toogoom Swims is acrylic on 20×20cm canvas, with the option to have framed and ready to hang in a beautiful Tasmanian Oak Floating Frame.
