'Daydream'

That perfect day spent with your favorite someone. Light bouncing off leaves, hills, the sea... and a side of white fluffy clouds (really).

This piece reminisces one of those kind of days spent exploring pockets of the far south coast and I hope we all can have many many more special, ordinary days like this - its always the simple things that bring the most joy.

A bit more about the painting: my intention here was to create an earthy piece, the landscape this depicts was the top of a rocky cliff with beautiful quartz and sandstone surfaces. I have used muted earthy tones and texture to create a slightly rustic feel.

Stemming from a childhood spent in the Pilliga scrub, the Australian landscape & flora are the subjects of my heart - wild, unruly, interesting and so beautiful.

Many hours were spent wandering through the bush with my determined and fit Oma who's love of Australian flora & fauna left an imprint on my young soul. She would collect & dry seed pods & flowers, and arrange them so beautifully, I've realised that this is also largely my practice as a person and as a painter.

Today, I have an Australian native garden on the edge of the bush where I gather my seed pods, blooms and foliage to create still life pieces that bring colour and joy into the home. When I'm not working on a still life piece, I am rendering a landscape that has inspired me, the coastline in particular is a constant source of inspiration.

Thank you so much for visiting my profile and thank you to Bluethumb for making it so easy for us to connect.

* A little side note - this month has been busy with new collectors jumping on board..thank you! Can't wait to bring you some more paintings soon.
