This is inspired by the landscape at the Wuruma Dam, in the Upper Burnett, Queensland. It is heavily textured with traces of underpainting layers being an integral part of the painting's history. It features an open forest terrain typical of the Australian landscape. It is an oil on canvas, finished with a gloss varnish and white edges, intentionally left uneven to enhance the visual impact, signed and ready to hang and enrich your home with the alluring charm of the outback.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
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. As a five-year-old, I would go out into the paddocks with my father and I've felt a strong connection to that landscape ever since.
I'm a mainly self taught artist and I work in oils on canvas. I got my first set of oils at age nine and immediately did a painting of the big gum tree at the front of the house. I now continue to paint as 'Greybeard' that harsh country that is so familiar to me.
