Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

View from The Eastern Shore with Acacia Logifolia in Fowlers Jar, was painted from my home on the Eastern shore of the Derwent River in Hobart.
I depict an Acacia Logifolia cutting in a Fowlers No. 27 preserving jar on the window-sill of my living room. Beyond, segmented by the steel frame window, is the expanse of the Derwent River, the Domain, kunanyi and Mount Dromedary.
I have used a combination of techniques - water-color applied on the raw canvas, masking and scratching deep into the impasto oil paint - to weave the cutting back into the landscape from which it came.
Accompanying the cutting and jar in this still life is a skull collected down by the waters edge as well as a couple of books by my favourite authors. The Border Trilogy by the late Cormac McCarthy and The Wind Up-Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami.
