Grampians Pastoral

Tonal impressionist oil painting painted from life on a toned piece of linen.
Inspired by the early Australian Impressionists (Streeton et al) who frequented the area and painted for an extended period. Best viewed from a distance. One of a series of images painted on a trip to the Grampians in October 2022 with a group of fellow artists.
