Artwork Description

Photograph on paper

Signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

Print not watermarked. Print in high resolution.

I'm drawn to water for some reason. The Tao Te Ching says that water always gives, always flows to the lowest point and takes the gentlest route, and yet wears down mountains and washes away stone. This juxtaposition between the fluid and the concrete, the permanent and the impermanent, seduces me. Search for photographs of Princes Pier in Melbourne and you'll see glorious sunsets over rows of timber pylons. But there is a deeper story worth revealing. One of time and transience.

“What a fabulous way to make art accessible to everyone. Communication with the artists was exemplary at every point, delivery super quick and we now have some great pieces I can’t imagine ever tiring of looking at. ”

“Bluethumb is a great service. It offers paintings in a great range of styles, sizes and prices. I enjoy looking at what is on offer, or has been on offer, and I've made a couple of purchases so far, and lusted over paintings that had sold before I knew of Bluethumb. The pieces I've purchased have arrived very well packed, and have been posted promptly. The photographs on the Bluethumb site are a true representation of the pieces available. I doubt that I will ever buy another painting by any other method. ”

“I've just taken delivery of eight works from artists all over the east coast. All arrived safely, and very carefully packed. They look even better than they appeared on screen. They range in size from 1.2 metres to 200 mm. Wonderfully well priced. Thank you fro such a terrific site.”
