Breaking Dawn Over the Reef

Breaking Dawn Over the Reef is an abstract artwork that captures the essence of a tranquil dawn rising over a partly exposed reef, with beach sand, rock pools, verdant seaweed. A unique blend of whites, blues, and lime yellow-green hues evoke the sense of movement of the early morning tide as it surges through the cracks in the reef.

The composition is characterized by its dynamic lines, which traverse the canvas and create a harmonious interplay between the various elements. These lines guide the viewer's gaze, leading them through the scene and emphasizing the sense of motion and vitality that is inherent in the oceans tidal rhythms.

This painting is a very modern, contemporary abstract work that would look fantastic hanging in your home.

This painting is produced using high quality materials and comes professionally stretched, ready to hand with D rings. It is signed and dated on the back.

Dianne commenced her career as an artist at age 52, studying a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) at Curtin University. Dianne works from her studio in Mullaloo, Western Australia.

Reflecting on her journey so far, she says:

What I have learned is that there are no short cuts – you have to put in the time and do the work. Creativity is a force to be reckoned with when you are an expressive person, the nagging urge inside me compels me to make art and face that blank canvas, to extend myself and find the courage to make those first playful marks. It is like opening ‘Pandora’s Box’ of transient reflections and immediately I am engaged.

Artist Statement

My practice has developed into an emotional performance of expressive, bold application of lines, colour, texture and shape. I work from a place of imaginative play, mark making by scraping, adding and removing, using spray paint, drawing with pens, pencils and crayons. I have an intuitive dialogue with the work. I swing from impulse to a considered mark, line, shape or colour. My abstract paintings are inspired by the various environments that I have found myself in whether environmental, domestic, psychological or industrial landscapes - colours and forms drawn from the world around me and laying dormant within. I always knew there was an abstract expressionist residing within...
