Galloway

This is a painting of the Nogo River following a flood, with the shallow crystal clear waters at the G. S. Galloway bridge. This site is about a mile upstream from the Old Rawbelle homestead that was settled in 1848 by Adolphus Henry Trevathan. The grazing country is typical of the upper Burnett, Queensland. It is an oil on canvas, finished with white edges and a gloss varnish, will be signed and ready to hang.

The nickname was first used by my uncle when I was a youth. The years of that young stockman and dozer driver are now a distant memory.

I was born in country Queensland and spent my early childhood on a cattle property situated along the Nogo River. I now paint as ‘Greybeard,’ exploring that harsh country that is so familiar to me. The sands of the Nogo and the black ironbarks of the surrounding expanse carry a strong sense of place and personal identity.
