Autumn Granite - Commission

This commission was painted for a collector who admired another work of a similar subject on a canvas of very different dimensions. The inspiration for the original was the colours of autumn in a landscape of granite boulders. I used a similar palette and concept for this painting and was very happy with how thrilled the collector was with it. It was actually a relief to paint with these uplifting colours as I, like many others I'm sure, am overwhelmed by the constant views of scorched earth we're seeing with the bushfires.

Doodie's artwork is a response to landscape in all its beautiful forms across the country, from green forests to red desert and the bush in between. She paints from memory and photos of her extensive travels.
Having grown up in WA, the red dirt of the Kimberleys and the Pilbara are ever present visual references, along with the plains of the wheat belt, the soaring jarrah forests of the south and the hectares of untouched bush around her home.
Nature has been a place of solace and connection since she was a child and she paints what she feels in its presence, often drawn to the rhythm of its forms.
Doodie loves to use found tools and a variety of colour palettes and styles so that each artwork reflects an authentic vision of a personal experience.
