Pink Carpet

Painted after a plein air session in Glenrock Conservation area, this portrait style study of the undergrowth of a forest shows the leaves and green growth over moss covered rocks. Light and shade play a significant role in creating drama in the piece. The vertical shape of the work encourages the viewer to take a walk along a pink carpet of fallen gum leaves, further into a shaded forest scape.

I am an oil painter in love with Australian light and landscapes. Living on Awabakal land, I respect and acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land. I exhibit in Newcastle, Sydney and regional NSW. The work is gestural and executed with a range of mark making tools to create impasto techniques of the shapes, tones and colours unique to Australia. Often sought for their rich texture and patterned surfaces, many of the works present a rich, varied and bold colour scheme that punch well above their weight.
