Kakadu Reimagined

This painting re-imagines the colours of Kakadu in a tonal study using a very limited palette of warm red, ochre, blue and white. I used a photo I'd taken last year for reference, all the while wondering when I'd ever get up there again.
Kakadu Reimagined is somewhat of a chameleon. In duller light, like a cloudy day the blue/mauve tones are dominant, in bright light, the yellow/green tones dominate. These photos were taken outside on a bright day. I'm happy to provide more images of the work in different lighting conditions.
Finished with two coats of varnish for surface protection
Signed on the back with a certificate of authenticity
I do my best to photograph my artwork accurately, but due to differences in monitors and devices, colour and contrast may vary slightly

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.
