Govetts Leap Lookout Blue Mountains

The lookout at Govetts Leap is one of the most beautiful views in the Blue Mountains. Govetts Leap was named after William Govett, a painter and surveyor, and also the first European settler to have visited this area. According to the sign at the lookout, he first discovered this beautiful spot almost two centuries ago, in June 1831. The Bridal Veil Falls can clearly be seen from the lookout. What caught my eye also was the stunning fern, nature is such a gift and just had to paint this scene.

This lookout attracts many tourists from around the world. If you look closely in the painting you will find three of the lookouts and 4 people admiring the view!

Framed in an Australian made wooden frame to enhance the nature colors of the painting.

An historical work of art that will be a wonderful addition to any home or office.

Welcome! I enjoy painting a diverse range of art at my Blue Mountains Studio and Gallery drawing inspiration from the stunning surroundings and its abundance of flora and fauna. My aim is to inspire and bring joy, taking the ordinary and enhancing detail, light and form.

My animals are expressive and quirky at times and my landscapes evoke a sense of tranquility. With delicate, layered brushwork they lend a sense of vitality and depth.

Beginning my art journey in 2008 I started with fantasy watercolors that soon became a channel for expressing my emotions, leaning towards light in the darkness. I quickly became a prolific painter experimenting with different mediums and painting a variety of art, and it felt like I had finally met my inner, creative spirit. My dream of owning my own studio/gallery became a reality in 2012 and to this day I still enjoy meeting and selling to many art lovers.

I participate in a range of group exhibitions, when I can, and have held a variety of successful solo shows. I'm very honored to have gained a number of awards over the years, winning the prestigious Rose Lindsay Art Prize at Blue Mountains Art Fest and won First Prize at BMCAN's NSW Parliament House Exhibition for 'Winter in the Blue Mountains', along with People Choice Awards and Highly Commended. I'm delighted that many of my paintings continue to be held in private and public collections worldwide, along with commissioned art products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my art.

With my very best wishes

Linda
