All art by Jeanette Giroud

Two horses stand together in a field of morning light. It is time for peace and contemplation. 
After the darkness of night, gently comes the morning light. The contrasting colours of Gold and Navy add drama to this scene of an out-of-control bushfire. The fighting forms of the golden sky and blackened foreground are broken by the rampant line of fire. I am reminded that after the fire comes the cleansing rain.  This scene evokes hope for the future as the golden smoke rises upwards towards the heavens. It is a universal image.A lonely woman faces the battle of her life. She is a  solitary figure in an empty field. Is she alone? I think not. She has the history of many brave women who have walked this earth and fought and won their private battles. Blue skies and the Australian gum trees always inspire my landscape works. The yelliw and red field of flowers provide a perfect contrast to the background of greens and blues. The Pist Impressionist Arts drew inspiration from contrasting colour as I have done in this painting from life.
