Lake Somerset, Summer

• We jumped into the roadster and headed to the hills for a picnic and some scoping out of painting vistas. I’ve never seen the Kilcoy, Queensland region so cheerfully lush and green. Here I’ve turned again to the square format to pull you into the scene, and tried to keep it loose and impressionistic.
• I wanted to capture the bright sunshiny dazzle in the cumulous clouds and lake, and the moving shadows of the clouds on the distant mountains. Roadside grasses, thick and heavy with seed, are reachable in the foreground to anchor the viewer.

• Our world’s shapes, colours and textures have a deep personal resonance and I aim to share that sense of wonder. I’ll always keep experimenting, learning, and making sense of the world through my personal art, and I’m excited to showcase and offer some of the pieces here in the hope you’ll enjoy them too.

• I work predominantly in acrylic and sympathetic water media. My acrylic works on watercolour paper mounted to my own handcrafted braced panels do not need to be mounted under glass, and can be cared for like any other varnished acrylic painting. All my works are completed with artist quality archival materials and media, and crafted with care and attention to longevity.
