Mt Buller Blues

Mt Buller is a highlight in the Victorian High Country and in this artwork I have tried to capture the fluid changing colours of dawn.

A cloud sits heavily on the mountain and parts of the valley are still in shadow and shades of blue. The sky is dusty pink beige which is partly reflected through the fields.

This soft vista is tactile with areas of intense detail, high gloss as well as areas of texture and silver leaf creating create contrast and depth with the charcoal black.

Several layers of clear varnish seal and ensure durability of artwork surface.

Acrylic, oils on stretched canvas.

Commissions welcome in any size.
