William Bustard painting in the bush around Rockhampton, Queensland, ca. 1940

  Nature is an eternal source of inspiration for many artists throughout history and all over the globe.

  Be charmed by the personality of Brisbane through the works of 20th Century artist, William Bustard, regarded for his mastery in capturing Queensland’s distinctive sense of light. Bustard (1894 – 1973) was an artist, illustrator and stained-glassWINDOW designer, whose work continues to portray an optimistic view of a changing city. On arriving to Brisbane in 1921, he became captivated by the brilliant Queensland light and depicted this unique characteristic of our landscape through his multi-faceted art practice. Bustard was also acclaimed for his stained-glass designs – a craft which literally captures the light – with many of his detailed hand-drawn designs included in the exhibition. With more than 70 original works on show, William Bustard: Painting with light offers a new look at this important and much-loved artist. Image: The Brisbane River, William Bustard.

  I suppose it's plausible to be LA, given what shows up on Google Maps here.

  The soldier on the stretcher is my brother Bob Lee, Jr. He was a LT.. Bob lives in Tampa FL with his wife and is retired. and does not talk about this experience. The guy in the front right was LTC Schroder, CO of the 2nd Bn., 39th Inf. LTC Schroder was later KIA. They named a FSB after him in the Plain of Reeds. Special thanx to Cliff Schultz.
