Burning Cane Sky Cairns

As part of the Sugar Cane harvesting cycle the Cane Fields used to be set alight and burnt. This would result in the bright orange skies shown here. The Queenslander enclosed timber louvred veranda house is typical of those built in Cairns. That might be an EH Holden too.

A self taught artist. I don't restrict myself in media and styles.I enjoy painting in oils, acrylics, gouache and watercolour. I have an affinity for capturing moments from places I have been lucky enough to travel to. Often developing paintings from plein air sketches I have done in the field. Whilst I enjoy contemporary realism and impressionism I will sometimes stray into the realm of pure abstraction. Convincing portrayals of light and colour are usually my main goals. Subject matter can range from the grand to the mundane and quirky.
