Australian Countryside

This artwork depicts a restful and serene countryside landscape. That place where time slows down and you wake up to the sound of the birds and start to notice patterns in the family of cows movements. To live here, but also by the ocean. The beautiful ochre and greens of our Australian back garden.

This is oil on canvas. It is stretched around a frame and therefore ready to hang. You can also choose to add an external floating frame which you can select at check out. Or hang it as is. It would look best with a lighter natural wood frame or white. Best suits a room with neutral tones and small dashes of complimentary, soft colours.

It has been varnished for longevity and protection. It comes with a certificate of authenticity

I am a part time abstract artist living an hour outside of Melbourne. I have loved painting and other forms of creative expression all my life. I am in constant awe of the colours in the natural world and I am forever exploring this by creating beautiful colour combinations in each artwork that is inspired by what I see in the Australian landscape.

I use high quality paints that create more vibrancy, and build beautiful colour combinations through multiple layers. I love being in the process of painting; thinking ahead as I build background layers of soft, neutral tones that I know will compliment the juicy, more textured final layers of the painting. The dynamic nature of oil paint glazes and opaque finishes is also what creates such depth and beautiful textures in my artwork.

I also believe in the power of creative expression, that it will shift stagnant energy, creating harmony and flow, and I constantly feel the affects of this on a personal level. I enjoy the free expression of abstract creations and also occasionally will render form that reflects the beauty in the natural world, such as flowers, the beautiful ocean and beachside of Australian culture, or the natural colours of fruits and plants.
The subject matter I explore is often a reflection of the vitality existent in the natural world and how we are connected to it, as well as, of course, the beautiful colours we find here in Australia.
Each painting is finished with a gloss varnish, giving it a lovely finish that accentuates the vibrancy of the colours and also gives it longevity and protection.
