Oil on Linen, Framed

Living in a coastal rainforest, with boat access only, I ventured to far west NSW in search of warm colour for my painting. Travelling to Broken Hill with its colourful colonial history led me to the aboriginal run park at Mutawintji, rich with rock art, multiple gorges and dry river beds dominated by the Bynguano Ranges. I followed a creek bed to paint en plein air. The feeling of connection to our country was undeniable and almost overwhelming. The colour was just what I have been searching for.
