The Band Played Waltzing Matilda by Kerry Sandhu Art in Darwin City

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

This painting was painted on ANZAC day 2020 and is named after the Eric Bogle song of the same name. The lyrics to this song are just so powerful and moving: "When I was a young man I carried me pack And I lived the free life of the rover From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in 1915 my country said: Son, It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun And they sent me away to the war And the band played Waltzing Matilda When the ship pulled away from the quay And amid all the tears, flag waving and cheers We sailed off for Gallipoli..." The red poppy symbolises the fallen service men and women, and the purple poppy symbolises the fallen service animals, and their ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ❤🌺 LEST WE FORGET ❤🌺 16" x 20" 41cm x 51cm (Comes in a pine box frame) This piece comes finished in a pine box frame which adds about another 1 - 1.5cm to the overall dimensions of the painting. It is painted on a gallery wrapped canvas, has been sealed with varnish and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
