Out of stockWe 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.

The mighty Cooper Creek weaves its way through the great Australian Outback. The “river” has such a certainty about it, that it is hard to see this as Burke & Wills country. How could these explorers perish with abundant food sources. The painting is about meaning. We look to the reflections in the water and wonder what went before.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Experiencing another Kimberley Sunset.
Isolated, somewhere near the Old Kurunjie Road, between Wyndham and the Pentecost River Crossing, WA.
The odd tree silhouetted against the sunset. Millions of bats flying out over the evening sky. Can’t help thinking that this is one great space to absorb and contemplate.

Out of stockThis 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.
