EARTH DAY

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally through earthday.org (formerly Earth Day Network) including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.

The Darebin Parklands is a nature conservation area and educational facility that includes recreational and research areas relating to the environment. It is situated around the Darebin Creek, which flows into the Yarra River, and is a much-beloved green space amongst typical metropolitan suburbia. It is about 7 km NE of the Melbourne City Centre.

EARTH DAY

For Earth Day today, a mosaic of four acrylic paint pouring canvases I've made, with the photographs that inspired them. I've merged the photos on top with my paintings below.

We live in a wonderful, beautiful, amazing planet and yet we do our utmost to ruin it and destroy it. Earth Day should make us stop think and change our behaviour so we can save this precious planet for the generations to come.
