Riverlands at Mudgee

Painted looking at a divide in the river. I’m working on keeping this series as loose as I can, aiming for abstraction. But of course, I’m looking at a scene, so it will have a slight semblance of realism.
Exciting, loose, all prima, expressive.

Through Trees

On the way to Mudgee we stopped at Windamere dam. I painted this loose version of the view, with the plan of becoming more abstract. Not sure that I will succeed as I love the landscape too much.

Backyard Dam at Mulgoa

Acrylic on canvas
90 x 68cm

Quintessentially Australian. It loses water in the drought, and overflows in the deluge. It supplies garden water for our home in Mulgoa – Dharug Country. I have a connection to this land: my five x grandmother was from this area, although dams like these were made by the recent farmers. I love the muddy water, the sky's reflections, and the wildlife that it supports – yabbies, frogs, tortoises and birds. I painted this from my studio door, as I watched the fresh rain-water flow down to feed it.
