Artwork Description

This diptych was painted after a trip to Tempe Downs Stn in the NT. What a beautiful piece of Australia! The Illara Ck meanders (in winter) through canyons and open country. This diptych is about that open country, sparse vegetation highlighting the colours and patterns of the sand dunes. Some of the smaller trees seem to turn charcoal over the seasons.. They bring Paul Klee 's whimsical paintings to mind. I let thinned acrylic flow a bit on the horizontal board to help create this sense of the dynamics of the desert. Please note that this painting is a diptych. The measurements are for the two paintings side by side, including the white mounting board to which the paintings are attached.

Artist Bio

Sid Palazzi 90 artworks | 17 Sold

My first 20 years were spent in southern NSW on a farm on wonderful grey box country, then..
University at ANU surrounded by scribbly gums.
More recently south coast of NSW amongst beautiful spotted gum forests.
In between times I studied art at RCAE Wagga and TAFE Goulburn in the spare time I had running a business spanning 40 years.
Artist's trips to Alice Springs and beyond over the past decade have rekindled my interest in the textures and colours of Central Australia- ghost gum country...
There's a pattern here...
For the past 10 years I have been exhibiting and selling successfully in Sydney.
