OR
WHAT
I
DID
TO
MY
BACKYARD
1998
-
or
thereabouts
It was
inevitable
I suppose,
that,
with the amount of time I'd spent on my Norman Lindsay
web pages,
it would end up affecting my mind and I guess I now have yet another disorder - Norman
Lindsay Syndrome!
So, how do I survive not being able to visit
the
sanctuary
of
Norman's pool when I feel
the
urgent need to be there? I've created
my own! Springwood
Sanctuary.
Well,
not
quite
as
grand
as
Norman's,
but
it
works
for
me!
Being physically impossible for me to visit the property every day,
I found myself in my own backyard, sometimes as late as
midnight, creating my own private Springwood, as best I could anyway with my limited
"acreage" and cement statuary. Its far from finished but it is well on the way
to being my very own bacchanalian world, so when the need arises I can just step outside the
backdoor and there it is, awaiting me.
Below is a picture of what I had to start with -
your average suburban, fenced off, pool yard. As you can see there is a
bit to be done.

The
pool,
as
it
was,
boring
With
the
inspiration
of
Norman
Lindsay,
and
a
fair
amount
of
time
and
effort,
it
now
looks
like
this.
Well,
a
tiny
bit
of
graphic
enhancing
perhaps,
but
it
is
pretty
much
looking
this
way
now,
January
2000.
