I saw this striking wedge of light.

Lincoln’s Rock is one of the favourite lookouts in the Blue Mountains. There is a beautiful subtle geometry in it’s ancient forms. There is also a lot of mindless carving of names and initials.


Thousands of years of wind and rain sculpts the Blue Mountains rocks into beautiful weird shapes. This one looked like a crashed flying saucer. I painted it as it was , without exaggeration.

After heavy rain the clouds were lifting up to the hilltops.

I love watching the cloud shadows rolling over the hills and mountains changing the mood and marking the moments.

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



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.
