The Berkeley is the largest single painting I have undertaken. The shimmering sheet of Aluminium sat prepped for many months whilst I struggled with the enormity of the project. The canvas was huge and so deserved to be graced with a scene of grandeur, fortunately this is what the Kimberley is all about. The 'workup' to the painting was methodical, paving the way for me to brave the moment I pushed paint onto this slick surface. I am thrilled with the final result and I hope it re-ignites the joy of being in this magnificent country for those lucky to have had the experience, or tweaks the urge to travel for those who haven't. The Aluminium glow dances beneath the surface of the paint and shimmers through the negative space.

With thanks to the Australian Geographic for allowing me to use their photo as reference for this painting.
