Rawbelle Gully 1

This is a bird's-eye-view inspired by the unique and historical landscape of the Rawbelle township site located in the upper Burnett region of Queensland. It is thought that the gully was once the main wool road between Gayndah and Gladstone, crossing the Nogo at the township in the late 1800s. It is an oil on canvas, finished with white edges that are intentionally left with paint spills to add to the visual impact of the piece. It is signed and ready-to-hang and will bring a sense of adventure and natural beauty to any space.

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.
