Pinks, Yellow, Two Guinea Pigs and Papa with a Cuppa - September 2020

The world’s otherness, its beauty and the mystery, can re-dignify 

the worst-stung heart. 

~ Mary Oliver

‘Sunset, Moonlight and Wattle Flowers’. Acrylic on 30x30cm canvas.

‘Sunset, Moonlight and Wattle Flowers’. Acrylic on 30x30cm canvas.

I painted both with the same theme in mind. They could be seen as a diptych, but also work well on their own.

The story of these two paintings is about time and distance and travelling from one end of the State to the other; the Wattle trees in flower for Spring, rainforests and eucalypts, cows, sheep, roads and rivers that intersect the landscape, and each other along the way. It is a Tasmanian story, with Tasmanian scenes, and the ocean at its end.
