Upon, Above and Beyond the Edge

Upon, above, and beyond the edge,
they glide, yellow-tailed spirits,
their wings dark mirrors
of mountains as old as stars.
Glasshouse spires rise,
guardians of the dreaming.
A cry rings out—kee-ow,
sounds between longing and rain.
The artist stands, watching them soar,
her gaze following the rhythm of wings,
a raucous cacophony of birdsong,
resilience in motion.
For in their dark plumage glows
the secret pulse of nature:
light and shadow, held forever
in the wide arc of sky.

Heather Gall Fine Art
Heather delights in the 'disordered order' of the natural world.
She is focused on a desire to do her best work, to be her best, hands on the brushes, mind engaged! Painting variously, in oils, watercolours and acrylics, her love of the landscape is evident as she traverses her environment, observing the lights, shadows, tangled brush, majestic trees, glistening waterways, varied birdlife, vast and many colourful skies and vistas.
In Heather’s words, “I hope that my work will pull you into a place, a time, a memory, a moment, a fleeting promise where you find joy in the simple quiet places. Art is a language that I have found I need no words for. To immerse myself in the act of creating images, I am on an internal and intuitive sensory journey, interpreting my landscape the way I feel it. I hope my works resonate on some level of enjoyment for you too!”
