Hale River Sunset NT

Fred Williams' beautiful paintings a definite inspiration for me.. as was this beautiful piece of the Hale River in the Northern Territory's Ruby Gap N.P.. This is a good walk upstream from the main camping area.. I was late getting back and caught the sun's last rays on the cliffs above an already shadowed sandy riverbed.. magical! White trunks of Ghost gums added to the drama!

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.
