Dogface, 84cm x 61cm, acrylic on canvas, framed, 2023– sold

The title of this cliff face dates back to a time before an early morning in January 1931 when when a great section of the escarpment face that gave it it’s name, cleaved off and fell into the valley. This rockface is regarded as a dangerous challenge for some very experienced climbers. In this painting I was trying to show just how stark, shocking and colourful this rock face is as it sits amidst the ancient cliffs just north of Katoomba.
