We talk about the patience of the fisherman. In this work I have tried to capture the solitude of the fisherman. Half looking out to sea, contemplative, not really expecting a bite, but at peace with the waves lapping up around the ankles. The Francois Peron National Park, Denham WA is a special place.

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.

You would have to say that a trip to WA’s GreatSouthern is a great way to spend some time. Apart from the food and wino attractions, there is the intriguing Elephant Rock. (It would be really nice to understand their place in dreaming stories. There must be stories about connection to country and the relationship between tree and rock and to understood it would be better). Generations of battering from the Southern Ocean has created a unique set of rocks in the image of four or five elephants making their way to and from the raging surf. To the painter there is the challenge of capturing this sense of movement and power of the ocean, the smoothed granite rocks and the rapidly changing sky as storm clouds roll past provides a rapidly changing light.
