A flock of merino sheep, heavily laden with their beautiful wool, are waiting for their turn to be shorn in the sheep yards attached to the shearing shed at Poolbrook Station, Nullamanna NSW (near Inverell). You can almost feel the texture of the fleece in this painting. The subtle, neutral palette of the contemporary take on traditional style provides a sophisticated air to any room.

All art by Leslye Cole

An enigmatic portrait of a young woman incorporates a peachy pink palette together with floral imagery creating a beautifully feminine painting.A Merino ram is beautifully displayed on a pastel blue/lilac background. The poised attitude of the head reminds me of the graceful silhouette of a Modigliani portrait with  the colour and exotic nature of Gaugin's Tahiti paintings. The figure is painted in oils using alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique on a ground of pale blue and lilac acrylic wash. This artwork is my first experiment incorporating some fluorescent paint into a compositionโ€”here in the shape of a single stroke which balances the dark mass of the subject's hair.This painting depicts the western fall  foothills of the Great Dividing Range in NSW, Australia. Painted in an en pleine air style, quickly laying down thicker oils over a magenta oil wash ground.
