I painted this after one of those magical Canberra Balloon Spectacular mornings when Lake Burley Griffin becomes a theatre of colour, light and movement. Hot air balloons hover low over the water above kayakers and paddleboarders, while Black Mountain and Telstra Tower rise quietly in the background. What interested me most was the contrast between the cool blue dawn and the warm glow of the balloons reflected across the lake. Inspired by Canberra’s March Balloon Spectacular, the scene captures that distinctly local moment when the balloons come so low their ropes skim the water beside the paddlers and the whole lake comes alive at first light. This is a one-of-a-kind original 65 x 65 cm painting created with professional acrylic paint on thick edge canvas. Painted in a modern impressionist style, it uses expressive brushwork and layered colour to convey movement, atmosphere and a strong sense of place.
