Artwork Description

The John McDouall Stuart Series are my interpretation of Stephen Kings sketches‚ surveyor and unofficial Artists on the John McDouall Stuart expedition across the Continent of Australia from Adelaide to Point Stuart. December 1861 – December 1862. References “John McDouall Stuart Journal and Mortlock Library‚ Adelaide” Chamber’s Pilliar “We then proceeded on the same course towards the remarkable pillar‚ through high‚ heavy sand hills‚ covered with spinifex‚ and‚ at twelve miles from last night’s camp‚ arrived at it. It is a pillar of sandstone‚ standing on a hill upwards of one hundred feet high. From the base of the pillar to its top is about one hundred and fifty feet‚ quite perpendicular: and it is twenty feet wide by ten feet deep‚ with two small peaks on the top. I have named it “Chambers Pillar‚ “ in honour of James Chambers Esq‚ who‚ with William Finke‚ Esq.‚ has been my great supporter in all my explorations”. The John McDouall Stuart Series were destroyed in a local flash flood March 2015. Limited numbered prints on Smooth Matte paper are now on offer for sale.

Looking through the shifting mist over Wentworth Falls
Looking down the misty valley
The painting gives the felling of a very very cold Blue Mountain morning🥶🥶
Beautiful blue hues
Yellow and blues intermingle
Whimsical coloursDark purple sky
Lightning flashes through the dark sky hitting the jagged cliff face
Big blue crashing wave
Rugged broken fence line sits through the sand dunes running down to the pounding surf
Violent storm hits the coast line
Looking at 1885
Train arrives into the the train station
