Tibooburra Vista

Driving up the now sealed Silver City Highway from Broken Hill to Tibooburra on your right just before your destination you will see in the distance flat top hills. That have spectacular white sections and other colours to them that really stand out in the landscape. There are usually flocks of sheep grazing on the vast saltbush plains and the ever hopeful wedge tailed eagle. The sky looks like it goes on forever with white verga clouds. They even look like they need a drink!

I’ve loved painting since an early age but my passion really started when I moved to Broken Hill. Travelling the far west of NSW as a district relief teacher and seeing the landscapes inspired me. I was fortunate enough to meet Eric Minchin one of the “Brushmen of the Bush” who taught me the basics of oil painting. I still travel to the outback mainly around the far west of NSW and the Broken Hill area. Occasionally with my daughter‚ Sarah‚ who is a photographer (http://frankly-photography.com/) who captures those iconic outback scenes which I never tire of painting. Since moving back to the mid north coast of NSW I have started painting some scenes in my local area which I also find enjoyable to paint.
