Eungella spell. 91cm x 91cm, acrylic on canvas, 91cm x 91cm, 2026

In 2023 I stayed, along with eight other artist friends, in a cabin in Eungella, in the mountains west of McKay Queensland. Eungella is an aboriginal word from the Birri clan meaning Land of Clouds. I was painting the late afternoon light and thinking of the Modernist artist Marc Rothko when I made this studio painting.
