I love watching the cloud shadows rolling over the hills and mountains changing the mood and marking the moments.
Afternoon Glow Kanimbla
Over Cox’s River
The combination of rural hills and a Blue Mountains backdrop makes Kanimbla a subject that I keep going back to. I saw something that day that reminded me of the great Austrian/Australian painter Eugene Von Guerard
Mount Solitary on a Blue Monday
Wild Dog Hills to Marsden Rock
Sodwalls
I was exploring the country beyond the Blue Mountains and I drove past this scene. It reminded me of the British countryside I explored as a young artist when I lived there for 6 months in the Eighties. It also looked a bit like a train set to me. I set my gear and started painting.

Sheltered Side
Cairn off Putty
The title referrers to The Putty Road that links the Richmond area to the Hunter Valley via The Great Dividing Range. The pinnacle of rock reminded me of a cairn.
Shadowland
This painting of the Western Escarpment of The Blue Mountains, looking towards Blackheath gave me plenty of opportunity to work a lot of rhythmic brushstrokes into my interpretation that hopefully complement each other in a polyrhythmic way, just as I believe nature does.
