Working with the artist Theo to install our paintings in the Parry gallery space was exciting!
We spent a while laying out the best possible location for each painting, considered the final placement after coffee and made a few changes. Once hung, we adjusted lighting and secured the wall labels before a huge sigh of satisfaction.
Incredibly pleased with the exhibition. Thank you to our wonderful friends and family for your support ❤️
As summer melts into autumn, I am back in the studio.
Last summer I spent many hours in the shade of a cape lilac tree watching a harvester mark a field while staying at Katrine, near Toodyay. As the shadows lengthened in the golden hour, I watched as the harvester lines and hillside changed into a painting in my mind.
In this first study, charcoal defined the composition before underpainting in purple and gold. Juicier paint applied for final layer.
Study is a very small work which will be translated into a larger canvas with more space for the eye to get lost in.
