Hot Arvo at the Dam

"Water is the lifeblood of a hot, dry country like Australia and I often unexpectedly come across dams, waterholes, soaks, billabongs and swamps in my travels through the bush. Always delightful, a cool shady spot teeming with life, the crackle of dry leaf litter, the cacophony of birdsong and the dip and fizz of insects."
Original artwork by award winning and internationally exhibited artist Michael Wolfe.
This beautiful contemporary abstract landscape painting draws inspiration from the landscape on Jaara Country around Michael’s home in Central Victoria.
A bold and colourful statement piece from an artist who is passionate about our Australian landscape.
Ready to hang and beautifully framed in a thin line Mountain Ash frame with a Danish Oil finish to suit your interior style.
