John Alcott and Haughten Forrest were the big Australian seascape artists of time gone by. These early artists were producing spectacular beautiful works which are now hard to come by. Inspired by their creativity and after some study, I created my version of these developing historic days without going to be accused of making a straight copy or infringing any ones style, as it still shows a strong early European interpretatation.

All art by Jos Kivits

A painting of this calibre is and always will be an eye catcher when people realise it has not been created with shortcuts and tricks, but genuinely by discipline and artistry without smoke and mirrors. It is a work I cannot get away from as it is in my soul to paint what every eye can see without the help of any kind of trickery or Painted in 2005 and several times perfected and varnished over the years. This very work has never been exhibited, although one similar depicting different objects was revealed in Jos’ 2018 exhibition.

The style and technique is considered ‘Classical European’ and first exposed to Australia by some well-known earlier artists like Hans Heysen, Arthur Streeton, & Besie Davidson.Apples and pears, glass of red wine,  opened wall nuts, and a 18th century fruit knife, all on a stone ledge
