A Special Australian Landscape
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.
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.
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.
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.
