This landscape emerged from the pour quite suddenly, so to greet it I added the highway, and with it a sense of movement and motion. To me this scene places us somewhere on the Barrier Hwy between Hermidale and Cobar...skies so blue and bright they're almost white, reaching up, up, up 'til your eyes squint in the sun. A little whirly wind in the distance every now and then. The motion of the car through the grey-black line of the road. Though it appears an empty landscape, the vastness only enriches it.⠀
