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.

“Wonderful piece of art by a talented artist. We couldn’t be happier with it. It has become the main feature in our living room. Bluethumb was great too - checked in with us when our delivery had to be sent back to the depot (we weren’t home) and made sure it got to us. Very satisfied.”

“The painting I bought had already sadly been sold in person, but both Tony and Bluethumbs support personnel were wonderful in fixing the issue. I ended up purchasing another one of Tony’s works instead, and am amazed at the quality of the work.”

“I was apprehensive only viewing this piece on line but was thrilled to see how wonderful it was when I unpacked it, beautifully painted, it actually feels like it’s moving and so peaceful I wish I could walk on the shore. Everything was done very professionally and communication was excellent, thank you Gaye and Blue Thumb, it is perfect with my revamped living space”
