Part of the collection of works from 2012-2018: The watercolour phase
Painted on location at the Brisbane River.
This watercolor painting, titled Riverbend Industrial, captures a quiet moment in a busy industrial riverside scene. The background features large, imposing buildings that fade softly into the muted sky, almost like they're shrouded in mist. In the foreground, the river is a hive of activity with docks and boats, their shapes reflecting subtly on the water's surface. The artist uses a gentle, earthy palette of grays, browns, and some warm oranges and cool blues to bring the scene to life. It’s a painting that makes you pause and appreciate the everyday beauty of a working city, where the strength of industry meets the calm flow of the river. It feels both strong and peaceful at the same time.
