Oil on wood
Signed on the front.
Painted on location in Australia in early 2020, this one proudly bears all the triumphant battle scars of being created in situ, including bits of dirt, bark and leaves which are added when it inevitable gets blown off the easel, making it a legitimate part of the Australian landscape wherever it gets hung. Kowen Forrest is located just outside the beautiful town of Bungendore in New South Wales, and boy was it hot in February when I painted this one, dodging birds, lizards and snakes!
