Three artists who have depicted the Australian landscape in different styles are Arthur Streeton, John Olsen and Sally Morgan. Streeton’s works are in a realistic but lively style typical of the Heidelberg school. He was intent on recreating the light and warmth of the land.

It was Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016 when the cubs won the world series. Now to be honest with you I’m not a big baseball fan. Ok, i'm not a big sports fan at all.
