I love to paint my local environment, and it is important to me that my paintings are immersive.......I want people to feel the elements.
When I paint it is an innate response to the environment.....especially the light.
"Back Waters " is an oil painting of Avoca Beach Lagoon.
It is the afternoon and the shadows are starting to lengthen. The group of trees on the shore are reflecting into the water, along with their shadows. Light is falling on the shore highlighting the trees trucks and patches of grass.
The water contains the reflections of the trees and large patches of yellow light falling onto it.....As the water is disturbed by the breeze the surface ripples and catches the light. The sun light skims the surface as if it was a skipping stone.
