Inspiration- I have a white gumtree in my backyard up against a fence, that deserves to be in a landscape , it is so beautiful. When I stood underneath it, it towered over me so much it seemed bent.
It all went from there to a huge canvas that is almost as tall as me!!
I adore landscapes but like to "bend" the truth a bit and make them slightly quirky.

Marysville is a beautiful place near the Yarra Valley, Victoria's wine growing district and stunning in its own right. Marysville was devastated by bushfires but has been lovingly rebuilt. The bush is recovering. While bushwalking there you might come across a babbling stream, seemingly coming from nowhere because of all the bracken and ferns.
I used a round canvas to create extra softness to the scene and to mirror the mossy rocks there in shape.

When I was a kid, my father would take us on very long walks in the Australian Summer heat, in far east Victoria- a place called Swifts creek. He had gold mining claims there that needed to be staked and maintained. We would walk all day, carrying posts, digging holes, slipping and sliding up and down deep embankments. Sunset was a welcome sight. The light in the bush would change and we would stumble down back into the valley to camp the night, bony tired, thirsty and hot. The colour of the sky would wash out and the bush would start to glow in the dipping sun.

Essentially this painting is all about light and dark. I adore impressionism and so this was very much about creating changing light in a moment in time in the Australian bush. I also like bendy trees and bushes so they hand to feature there.
It's an absolute jewel of a painting - would be stunning as a feature piece on a large wall.

Could you imagine a more perfect park to stop at for a while?

I love Impressionist Art and the exploration of light. I also adore colour and just couldn't go past this giant tree. I stood under its canopy and sighed. Ballarat has beautiful gardens and many huge trees. The tree was big so the painting had to be too. It's fresh colourful and would make a beautiful statement on a wall, a bit like jewellery against a plain dress.

Inverloch in Victoria is a very special place in my heart. Its the place of dinosaur bones, wild ocean and many, many rocks. I built this small pile when I was last there, learning to snorkel.

The image is currently carried over onto the sides , but this painting would look just as beautiful in a natural wood box frame.
