Coming Home II

Towards the end of winter after some frosty months the grass in the paddocks dies off. In the evening light with the sun low in the sky colours can be magnificent.

One day on my way home I was greeted with this bright earthy scene and decided it needed to be seen more often and so painted it.

The painting has been completed on a sheet of canvas using artist quality paints and varnish. It requires framing.

I have always been creative, enjoying to draw since 3 years old. However, art wasn't a prominent part of my life until several challenging and tragic family events occurred. Then in 2010 I went to TAFE and completed certificates I, II, and IV in visual art and I haven't looked back since. I currently paint using oils and acrylic.

My favourite images always come from the natural world, usually during my walks. I will see a scene where the light brings a rare moment of beauty that I want to capture for myself to relive and others to enjoy also. I photograph the scene and use it as the basis of my work but then use my memory of the moment to complete the painting.

Realism is my preferred style. I enjoy other styles between projects for variety. Recently I have been trying to represent my ideas as information visualisation abstracts.

I am very concerned about climate change and the threat to our beautiful world. My paintings capture that beauty and hopefully inspires us all to take care of our home.
