Dry Season (2006)

Size: 90cm W x 120cm H

Depiction of the dry Australian outback. Intense yellows & oranges of an arid landscape hiding a plethora of life in its own way.

This was a very early painting where some of my ideas were still developing - it is a mix of deconstruction, abstraction & impressionism. The painting holds true to my lasting impressions of the outback - the dry soil riddled with patterns and tiny flowers, almost dead-looking, hidden from all but the watchful eye...

The painting is constructed of coloured dots approximately 1mm in diameter.
