Brushstrokes 2

by Wendy Beach

Overview

A modern Australian Drama set in Perth, Western Australia. Catch up with 'Green-eyes' and 'Snowscene', along with their indigenous, noongar, art teacher (from the first Brushstrokes, which was shortlisted in the 2014, William Todhunter literary award). In part 2 Skye ('Snow-scene') discovers she is pregnant. She isn't quite sure who the father is. Not that it matters, she isn't planning on keeping the baby. She searches for a way to get a late term termination over east. Meanwhile, her current boyfriend, indigenous Koori, Dylan (Green-eyes), is searching for something else, and her ex, Josh, is only seeking the next wave to catch as he flees possible parenthood.

I hope you enjoy this newest installment of the Brushstrokes drama. There are many more long stories to come, based on the original characters from the art class in Brushstrokes.
