The Roey Rocks is a painting that should evoke a feeling that you are eighteen again and back in Broome in the 70’s and 80’s.
Broome in that era was bubbling with free spirits, whose music was too loud and hot pants were too short.
My husband visited Broome in the late 70’s and spent most of his spare time and money at the Roey Hotel. He was the inspiration for the painting and if you look closely he is inside playing pool.
He remembers the rawness and excitement of hot Saturday nights, hot cars, hot chicks and where mullets and alcohol flowed freely. So did the rivalry between Holden and Ford.
The painting should rev up your v8 memories and blast your ACDC minds!
And if you are too young for that era, jump right in anyway … my hubby is always looking for the next person to beat at pool.
