Acrylic and 23 karat gold leaf on canvas

H 90 x W 90 cm

Since I moved to Australia I learned to look at the landscape from a visual perspective and to capture its essence. Most often it will be through the use of the landscape colours that I simplify, exaggerate, reorganise and abstract. This is reflected in the subtle layering of paint and the use of vivid phtalo blue and ocean hues. This painting is a celebration of Western Australia’s summer and deep blue waters.
