    #087 Bararranna Gorge

    $800.00
    We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape.

    Bararranna Gorge Waterhole, One of the iconic vistas of the Arkaroola Landscape

    Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful, untamed but with a natural beauty.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 crevasse 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. Look at the sharpness of the rock face embracing the cutting power of flood.

    Contemplate just how high and powerful the flood must be when it does rain.

    #090 Arkaroola Panorama, Split Rock

    $1,250.00
    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.

    #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.

    #098 Cooper Creek (Landscape)

    $650.00
    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.

    #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.

    #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.
