Outback Trees is an oil painting based on my sorties into Western Queensland and in particular around the Charleville hinterland.
The outback is a harsh landscape and this is evident in the mass of fallen trees with their twisted sun bleached limbs. From an artistic point of view, these lying limbs provide a wonderful exercise in negative space.
The sides of this work are painted and the work is sent ready to hang. The surface has been varnished for added protection.

Original Artwork's Description
Artist Bio
I am an oil painter and over the years I have experimented with that medium using various styles and supports, techniques and tools. However, the subject matter is always the one common denominator. ...the subject is always based in nature, and invariably represents my response to something I have just seen in the landscape, or a small collected specimen that I have brought back to the studio.
My studio work process begins with an initial and very roughly painted sketch on the canvas, which is then followed by a loose application of paint over the entire picture plane in order to give an idea of composition and colour balance. These first stages are quickly executed, but with the slow drying nature of oils, the ensuing layers, and the final finished work can be days or weeks later.
The wonderful thing about art and any creative endeavour is that there is no arrival point. It is a journey of looking, learning, and discovery.
