Tamrookum Creek

I usually make an effort to be original, but I am also acutely aware of past Australian Artists and their interpretation of our Landscape. This work uses impasto brushwork to bring the richness of wet season growth, with a beautiful Bluegum that is, unfortunately, covered with danger tape to signify that it is earmarked for lopping to keep the odd picnicker safe. Thought I would capture it before it went.
