Wiseman travelled to Brisbane Australia in 1974,
where he visited with the Jones family.
Their annual holiday retreat was the location for the painting titled
"Bribie Island"
This painting, done on location,
depicts Wiseman's original design for a dream home and studio,
which he hopes to build some day on Moreton Island.
This domed structure has three tower sections,
each one having a sleeping quarter with a separate ladder.
The large mangrove tree which dominates the painting exists on the nearby beach.
Upon his return to Canada,
Wiseman painted this detail of the cupola for his dream home.
