Field of Dreams

The scene is like a river of flowers in the winter cascading down from the mountains in Europe.Clear crisp air and a gentle breeze as you take in the flow of the field of flowers... This original, one-of-a-kind Australian abstract painting explores the balance of raw texture and vibrant movement.As a free-spirited expressionist artist, my signature process involves bypassing traditional brushes entirely. This piece was created completely by hand, using my palms, fingers, and spatulas to intuitively blend and build rich, tactile layers directly onto the canvas.
