Fabulous paintings by renowned American artist Bucklee Bell are likely to appear regularly on the Sydney Opera House sails , if this blog's respected art correspondent , Ponsonby Willis , gets his way .
Willis is a great admirer of Bucklee Bell who also runs a unique business in Chiang Mai , Thailand, Kesorn Arts , dealing in ethnographic arts , including beads and textiles that he gathers in expeditions to out of the way places.
His distinctive artwork , developed during his involvement in the underground comix movement in America , appears in regular Thai exhibitions. One of his paintings, dealing with politics , has pride of place in the Little Darwin den.
Ponsonby Willis explained that while Bell's fabulous paintings often appear related to the exotic landscapes and tribal customs of the Golden Triangle and the Rusty American Panhandle , they have the magical property of vividly representing any country . For instance , the following intricate tapestry :
Ponsonby interprets this Bell epoch possible Opera House sample as really depicting Australia's rich cultural heritage and history as a convict colony still run by descendants of the rum corps , who booted out colonial Governor Bligh , after whom Australia's refugee ex-PM Malcolm Turnbull's middle name was derived .
A certain , unsporting cash for bash radio identity , who deserved to remain unnamed and unwashed, would undoubtedly disparagingly describe the scene as musicians playing for the latte sipping mob and Balmain basket weavers who objected to the Everest horserace promo on the Opera House .
A closer, unbiased look would reveal that it brilliantly captured the present political situation in Australia. The central tableaux of chamber musicians inserted to soothe angry Aussie voters reluctantly waiting until next year to empty the chamber pot over the Morrison government , the New South Wales Coalition jelly babies along the way .
The four large snakes next to the wheel of fortune obviously represented the main banks which had been sinking their fangs into their customers-alive and dead - since they first slithered ashore from Noah's Ark at Botany Bay in 1788 .

According to Ponsonby , the many depictions of the female form show women are holding up more than half the sky and their work is never done, especially when a bullied member of the old double breasted Liberal Party .
Bucklee's brilliant work promoted the beauty of Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach through the appealing drawing of a stinging bluebottle ; also there to be seen was an outbreak of mutated crabs , a few dangerous bush ticks , no funnel webs . The never ending up to 80 percent off carpet sales throughout the nation way of life and the ABC's outback yodelling dingo stood out. Free steak knives were hidden somewhere , said Ponsonby , playing with his chopsticks .
Another beaut Bucklee special being seriously considered for the Opera House is the above in which woman are still holding up more than half the world and it seems evident members of the Queensland Young Liberals in Operation Leroy are secretly planning to stack pre-selection meetings to try and kick out the hopeless old LNP brigade , a difficult task . It features the call for Queensland to be cut into two states , with a Berlin wall between the two , the top half full of bellowing yahoos in cowboy hats , the other side , taking in the Brisbane Line , talking through their hats .
The dazzling Bucklee Bell above epic will feature in a massive New South Wales Tourist Bureau campaign ( bigger than the highly successful Paul Hogan invite to throw another white spotted shrimp on the barbie ) to discourage overseas tourists from taking in Queensland by revealing the Sunshine State is crawling with crocodiles, Katters , taipans and knee deep in discarded , germ-laden toothbrushes .
