    Morning Light

    $450.00

    A special Australian Landscape.

    Occasionally an early morning bike ride to Port Adelaide reveals another stunning dawn. There is a theme around the pink reflections of the sunrise before merging into the morning sky. The light is fleeting, although the morning is breaking, the lights on the jetty still shine. The sun has yet to catch the beach scrub and the lights on the jetty are still bright.

    #064 Arkaroola Creek Waterhole II (Bararranna)

    $500.00
    We talk about the timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola Landscape.  The reflections in the waterholes make places like Arkaroola like nowhere else. Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty.  According to legend, Arkaroo, the great Dreamtime serpent lived in the Gammon Ranges. He felt very thirsty, so he slithered down to the plains and drank Lake Frome dry. When he had finished, he went back to the Gammons, his body gouging out Arkaroola Creek. The waterholes represent the places that he stopped and rested.

    #047 The Pinnacles in Drought

    $500.00
    We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape.
    For over 600 million years, these Pinnacles have served as sentries to the Mawson Valley. Contemplate the violence of their formation in those primeval years, of the natural evolution.  Today the challenge is the climate cycle.
    The copper tones of the dead leaves display the stress. And yet, the cleverness of nature, that it adapts, it survives but doesn’t quite conquer.

    #040 Tree Study – Arkaroola Creek

    $600.00
    We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. On the ground, in the creek beds, it is not about the geological forces but the adaption of the trees to to the climate. Towards the end of 2019 Arkaroola had experienced the longest, driest conditions in living memory. Red Gums that were hundreds of years old were dying. The desiccated landscape was facing its biggest challenge. Having seen it at it best, we were witnessing a potential disaster. Every major drought asks the question, will the landscape recover?

    #082 Arkaroola Landscape

    $650.00
    We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape.  This scene taken from the lookout near the Pinnacles, a peaceful, contemplative hilltop vantage point looking over a typical Arkaroola landscape. The track winding back to the village gives the sense of journey with some interest in the distant rocky outcrops that remain from the weathered, folded landscape. I liked the sense of the hills and the colour of the dried earth coming through the sparse vegetation.

    #029 Cactus Beach Sunset

    $650.00
    Capture the impression of the endless break of a passive surf break at the famous Cactus Beach.  At sunset, watching wave after wave roll in. The light slowly fading, but leaving an orange hue on the horizon and an eerie purple on the break. With the wind dropping in the evening, the scene depicts a peaceful reminder of the power of the sea.

    #095 Coongie Sunset

    $750.00
    The mighty Cooper Creek after all its journey spreads out into the desert plain, attracting abundant birdlife, but it is endless flat water that holds the reflection of the desert sunset. Still, quiet, harmonious, not a soul in sight.

    #085 Dinnertime Hill

    $800.00
    We talk about the timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola Landscape.  Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty. The afternoon sun on the rugged face of Dinnertime Hill brings out the colours of the landscape and there is a little mystery as Wywhyana Creek winds it way through the nearby gorge. The desert mulga with its dry, copper tinge completes the story.
