#120 Quobba Station

$800.00

Quobba Station, WA

A Coral Coast excursion in 2021 around one of my favoured themes; landscape, light, cloud, and special place.

Quobba Station hosts the famous exposed surf reef break at Red Bluff.

The painting is about the place, the Indian Ocean crashes into the rock ledge. Late in the afternoon, the pink beginning of the sunset catches the wisp of the clouds.

The inspiration for this painting came from a visit to the Streeton Exhibition in Sydney early 2021. Quite a number of Australian impressionists took to the beaches around Sydney and produced many notable paintings.

This painting takes you to Manly Beach and a view across to Shelly Beach.

#139 Bararranna Hill

$650.00

We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. This scene below the dominant Bararranna Hill holds a particular fascination. It is one of the major iconic scenes along Arkaroola Creek tracing the path of the great dreaming serpent, Arkaroo. This scene projects a primeval emotion typical of the harsh and robust environment. The rock faces are sharp and steep with few trees successfully finding a crevace to set their roots. Interest in the scene is enhanced with the foreground water, and we have the curiosity of what lies around the next bend as we make our way up to the Bararranna Waterhole. There are still many questions that the landscape asks of us.

#140 Stubbs Waterhole

$2,000.00

We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. In this work I have tried to capture the thirst of a landscape in the cycle of life. The day is beginning to warm, there is a feeling of death. And yet there is still some sign of life in the background. There is a hope that the landscape will recover, that the trees will shed their parched exterior. That is the conundrum and the cleverness of nature, that it adapts, it survives but doesn’t quite conquer.

#143 Millstream – Chichester Plains

$1,250.00

What is it about a Pilbara Landscape that draws you in? Is it the ochre red of the iron soaked ranges that fade to purple and blue in the distance. Is it the plains of the yellow of the spinifex catching the afternoon sun. Could it be the gorge with its exposed red sides. A visit to the Millstream - Chichester National Park offers more that an average Australian Outback experience.

#145 Road to Ntaria (Hermannsburg)

$750.00

While the land is harsh and dry, it holds a rugged, colourful beauty. Reds, blues and purples have to be experienced to be believed. It is truly a wonderful country that Namatjira and Hermannsburg have encouraged us to share.

#146 East Point Sunset

$750.00

East Point Reserve, Darwin

A great Australian Landscape

The tropical sunsets over Darwin are spectacular. I want to capture for the balance between the sunset and the fading light on the water, and then there is the tropical cloud with the sun departing but leaving an illuminated skyline and upper cloud. There is something special about a “graceful” Darwin sunset at East Point Reserve.

I am always looking forward to a week or two in Darwin each year to catch up with friends and a bar-be-que with on the foreshore.

#147 Arkaroola Panorama, Split Rock SOLD

$2,500.00

We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. This view of Mt Ward is the iconic vista painted from the angle of Split Rock. I have tried to capture the essence of the landscape, the feel the morning breeze before the afternoon heat. Colour before the afternoon haze There is an interaction between the ruggedness and the beauty. Stretching out past Mt Ward we see the characteristic purple hue as the distant peaks fade into the horizon. Split Rock is a tea break stop along the famous Ridgetop Tour, which best exemplifies the character of this region.

#154 Birkenhead Bridge

$800.00

An early morning rest at Port Adelaide provides the opportunity to marvel at the emerging dawn. The reflections of the sunrise with the blue hue above the horizon topped with a pink layer before merging into the morning sky is the fascination. This autumn morning had the added bonus of a late moon and reflections on the still Port River.

#159 Brighton Jetty

$800.00

The early morning catches an interesting mood. The air is clear, the sun is bright, it is not yet hot, the day is full of promise. The light catches the awning's vivid red and the communication tower at the end of the jetty. There is some fascination with the water lapping the shore, the ripples and the shadows under the jetty.

#174 Katherine Gorge, Nitmiluk SOLD

$2,500.00

This painting captures my fascination of the colours, reflections, and movement in the waters of Nitmiluk Gorge, the rock faces that have witnessed many thousands of years of floods. Country watched over by the Jawoyn people and culture. As we came to the top of the first gorge, the scene emerged, the rock faces of the gorge, the distinctive nature of territory clouds all coming together.

#177 Respect for the Past SOLD

$2,500.00

Camped at Curdimurka, just south of Lake Eyre (Kati Thanda) in the heart of Arabana country Here are remnants of a past glory that can easily disappear into the past. It is flat and featureless, but it does have a story. Reflect on the difficulties of building the Ghan dream. Here we have the old water storage, slowly falling apart, we have the old water treatment plant, leaning like the tower of Pizza. But there is more. Why here? The Ghan followed the inland telegraph, that followed the mounds springs, that were crucial to the ancient trading routes across Australia. This is where Stuart commenced his five expeditions into the Red Centre. This is outback Australia.

#183 Mpulungkinya Ampitheatre

$1,250.00

Palm Valley in the Finke Gorge National Park. It is close to Hermannsburg (Ntaria). The Mpulungkinya Walk takes you to the amphitheatre at the head of the valley immersed in the lands of the Western Aranda people. There is character of this fascinating landscape, water smoothed rocks that tell of vast torrents of water, and yet it exists in a pretty arid landscape. The frequent pools support the Red Cabbage Palm and those white trunked gums that the Hermannsburg school of artists have so famously represented.
