Artwork Description

Photograph on paper

Signed on the front.

This is a composite photograph from the "Surreal Estates of the Tropical North" series of images of which there are 12.
The eclectic mix of architecture found in Far North Queensland has been used to create these new surreal buildings which are placed in an environment of less urban clutter, so one sees the architecture in a new light.

These are conversation starters, so great to have in your living room or hang as a set of 3 together. They have been named to reflect what their previous usage was or what they are now, combined with their environment.

I wanted this image to be instantly recognisable to anyone that has been to Cairns. The elements in this image and the palms remind me of the Eagles "Hotel California" album cover, a prized possession of my teens.
To me this image says "balmy summer nights " but plenty to be entertained by.

Several old historical buildings stand together, atop a grassy hill with the dark blue-grey of an impending storm looming above, with a textured overlay.A small weathered shack stands alone atop a grassy hillock. It desperately needs a paint but has so much character. The deep blue sky beyond is streaked with the odd wispy white clouds. An old stone church is placed atop a grassy hillock, bathed in beautiful rays of light streaming from a moody sky. The background has distance dark mountains and a small flock of birds silhouetted against the darkness. An old small library building  is accompanied by a small weathered street library perched atop a grassy hillock dotted with grazing sheep. The background sky is dark blue streaked with white clouds.
