Sublime Afternoon

I was influenced by a bush that I did on the outskirts of town. It was in the late afternoon, and the air was very still. The lake in the foreground was very serene and had a very calming quality. Banksias and gum trees with on the lakeside and the gum trees were blossoming. This painting has an atmospheric and serene feel to it and a beautiful and wooden frame.

I grew up in New Zealand in a very scenic coastal town, so the dramatic sweeping landscapes influenced me at an early age. I moved to Sydney in 1989 and from 1999 I lived in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney where I rekindled a passion for landscape art. The diverse flora of the eastern suburbs influenced my palette, drawing me into the colour and magic of Sydney's coastline and surrounds. I love painting with vibrant, vivid tones to capture man's relationship with nature. My family and I are now living in the south coast of NSW. I am surrounded by amazing landscapes that continue to inspire my passion, and I am constantly trying to express this through my art.
