Wattle Wonder

Wattle gives me the first taste of spring and the uplifting feeling of coming out of the cold darkness of winter. It seems to be everywhere this year. It’s flowers attract plenty of bird life and their voices add to the general feeling of happiness.
This painting is ready to hang having been brushed with a protective gloss layer that also helps the colours to ‘pop’.

Deb Long is now based on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula at Goolwa Beach in South Australia and takes inspiration from the beauty of the natural environment whether it be sea or land. After many years of teaching full time retirement
has now made it possible for her to continue her painting passion in her new purpose built working space.
Recurring themes in Deb’s work are the stories told by nature and the use of light and shadow to enhance what is seen using acrylics and oils as her mediums of choice. She strives to capture the mood and feeling of a place through the use of colour and brushstroke, thus giving the viewer a sense of place. Her style invites the viewer to engage with the scene and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer.
Deb enjoys travelling to different places and revisiting old favourites, continuing to take inspiration from the landscape. Birds, flora and unique landscapes continue to delight the viewer.
