Afternoon,Dogface, Late March, 91cm x 154cm, acrylic on canvas,framed, 2023- sold

My second painting of the newly revealed cliff face called Dogface by the locals. There was a massive landslide in 1931 that left this striking yellow sandstone cliff face.

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.

At 21cm x 30cm this is a study for a much bigger painting, also on this feed. Narrow neck is a much loved ridge north of Katoomba. Kanimbla and the Megalong Valley can be seen in the distance.
