Morning in the Glasshouse Mountains. Maleny.Qld

I love going up to the mountains to paint. At anytime of the day the atmosphere is beautiful. It has a spiritual feel to these ancient mountains and area. Ive done a lot of paintings of this subject over the years. Its the light and colours that grabbed my attention on this occasion. This one is painted in oils on marine ply. This would look great in any room it was hung in. A beautiful frame would set it off nicely.
