Like many artists I am inspired by my environment, including the landscape, trees and flowers.
Paintings of the landscape can be traced back to the 4th century in China. Although paintings from the earliest ancient and Classical periods included natural scenic elements, the landscape was often just a back drop for, e.g. a portrait. The landscape as an independent genre did not emerge in the Western tradition until the Renaissance in the 16th century.
Landscape painting encompasses a variety of natural scenes including mountains, rivers, valleys, forests, fields, and coasts. This definition was expanded in the 20th century to include urban and industrial landscapes.
There is a growing tradition of abstract landscapes that developed from the middle of the 20th century onward

Artist Bio
AUSTRALIAN ARTIST
I am an Australian artist working in Adelaide, South Australia. I paint mostly in oil, but occasionally use acrylic paints. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, flower paintings and abstract paintings are included in my repertoire of work.
INSPIRATION FOR MY ART
As an Australian artist, my inspiration comes from whatever is around me at a particular time. As an example, following a recent trip to the mid north of South Australia, I produced a series of landscape paintings, which include the beautiful Eucalyptus trees and flowers from local gardens.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I have always loved colour. My paintings as a child were mostly large areas of very, very loud colour.
I paint because I love to. Taking delight in seeing what emerges from the canvas, and I still love colour.
Painting with other artists is a time to spend time with other human beings, without having to talk.
Painting alone is a special time to forget everything else, to get lost in the process of creativity, of colour and line, and light and dark.
During different stages of life I have made more time for painting. Now is one special time in my life when I can devote lots of time to painting.
