Poolside Gum Trees

Beside outback waterholes with very dry, dusty country all around, I love reaching a waterhole surrounded with magnificent, old rivergums. How wonderful it is to paint in their cool shade and escape the fierce heat. I can still hear the sound of birdsong that accompanied the painting process.

I hope that the peaceful feeling of it's creation, will be brought to the viewers of this colourful painting.
