Pen and inkA4
It is a marvel to me that such a beautiful river runs through the heart of Melbourne’s outer-western suburbs. The city of Wyndham is growing rapidly and it is getting harder to find restful places to unwind without being swamped by crowds of people. The Werribee River provides such a place of sanctuary. Its flowing water and adjacent walking trails adorned with native flora and fauna are a relief from the hubbub of life nearby.
This particular pen and ink scene features the footbridge near Watton Street in Werribee. Across the bridge to the left is a large recreation park and to the right is a starkly contrasting carpark. Beneath the bridge flows the Werribee River - laced with water plants that in my mind’s eye are reminiscent somewhat of Claude Monet’s much-loved waterlilies.
