Crumbling Wall

Crumbling Wall
I have always liked the different textures of old sheds and crumbling buildings with rust covering secrets here and there. Some are brick others concrete and plaster. In my painting I tried to capture the effect of concrete and metal because I like the fragments of rust with sky breaking through with a cat sitting in high shelf looking for mice. I enjoyed painting the crumbling wall and making lumps and bumps in the acrylic to give the effect of an old forgotten building.

Painting the colors of Australia I love and enjoy rugged mountains, sweeping plains, and the Crystal Sea. Plus sunset’s whose hair streaks like fire and Kangaroo’s asleep in the scorching heat. Where red dust covers everything rust hiding secrets here and there, mirages tell lies of water as sheep zig-zag down to the creek. Old homesteads and sheds lost in time, where life’s a gamble of love and dreams’.
Now that I have retired from work and my five children have grown up I have time to paint again before it was impossible. I won art prizes as a teenager and had a large exhibition of 300 paintings.
I use to paint in oils but now most of my paintings are acrylic now because the paint dry’s quicker. My style is mostly traditional with a lot of detail and imagination.
