LEIGH THREE

These majestic Gums inspired me to look closely at their colours and form particularly as they have literally grown together over many years. The enormous tree trunks, in being the focus, ignite the imagination to wonder what can be discovered as the eye strains upward.
The highest quality acrylic paint was applied with numerous palette knives and brushes. The canvas is a high quality deep structure which would not need a frame. The edges have been painted as part of the scene, drawing the viewer to look beyond the main canvas. The colour of the sky is echoed in the reflective new bark adding a pop of brightness. The art work is varnished for protection to bring many years of enjoyment and ready to hang on delivery.
I hope you love this piece as much as I did in creating it.

Celebrating the world around us through creativity, is to acknowledge nature's diversity and beauty in all its forms. The endless inspiration it provides manifests in constant images in the conscious and subconscious mind. To be able to share these visions with others, through artistic expression is a privilege and an honour.
Appreciating and creating art has been a part of my life for as long as I remember. I have explored many, many mediums and have taken commissions for people across the world from Europe to Japan, USA as well as Australia. These commissions have been for glass painting and slumping, porcelain art, oil and acrylic painting, watercolour and drawing.
I have been fortunate in travelling extensively and have been able to create montages of all the places I have visited and loved. These often provide the inspiration for my pieces.
I am largely self taught and my many years of exploration and making of art is a never ending pursuit.
My relocation from city to a regional hamlet on acreage has given me so much inspiration, I can't keep up with the images in my mind! Eucalyptus trees hundreds of years old surround me and beckon to be drawn and painted. The vast skies change the way light plays on the landscape - an Impressionist's dream.
My dream is to continue sharing my artistic visions in whatever way provokes thought, reflection and emotion while being aesthetically pleasing.
I hope my artistic creations touch you in some way and I thank you for taking the time to ponder over them.
