Artwork Description

With thoughts of water abstract scenes still filling my imagination after completing Waters Edge and Yabby Billabong I moved on to create two pieces of art that create one artwork when hung together which is different than my two previous abstract watery sets.

Drought Has Broken Diptych started with two intuitive layers of applying acrylic paint in Australian outback colours.

Sombre thoughts of draught and at times, water scarceness across our country, came to mind, followed by the feelings of relief, in addition to the colours, look and smell of freshness around us after the rains come. I channeled my more positive feelings and thoughts to create this light, bright watery outback minimalistic landscape with only the hint of the dark, bare trees as a reminder to harder, challenging times.

Both are 40.6 (H) x 50.8 (W).

My work is organic therefore the dimensions of these paintings includes a rough 1 cm border which can be covered during your chosen framing method.

As they both require framing to hang my artwork photos include pictures of how this pair could look framed and hung.

Please check dimensions, in-situ images for display purposes only and may not be to scale.
