Frederick McCubbin was born in Melbourne, Australia on 25 February 1855, and died 20 December 1917, aged 62 years. ‘Down on His Luck’ was painted in 1889, which depicts a swagman sitting by a campfire and, as the title suggests, looking a bit down. The fellow in the painting was a friend of the artist, Louis Abrahams, who was an unsuccessful gold prospector. The painting is owned by the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

        ❛   What?   ❜   Had it not been for a long, slow school day followed by a less-than-stellar cheer practice ( all thanks in part to her spotter purposely letting her fall to the ground, repeatedly ), she might have been a little nicer with the delivery. Key phrase: might have. Instead, one hand finds itself resting on her hip, a blatantly brazen pose in lock as lips pull into a small scowl.   ❛   Take a picture; it’ll last longer.   ❜
