On a bushwalk high above a Tasmanian peninsula, the lovely dusky red rocks loomed out of Australian eucalypt scrub. This painting comes from photographs taken on a hike on the Freycinet Peninsula in north east Tasmania, which overlooks the famous Wine Glass Bay. The altitude of the place created a crisp, clear air and sense of drama as the earth dropped away, held in place by these huge sentinel rocks.
I was drawn to the unique warm colourings in the rocks paired with the Australian grey-greens, creating a strong complementary colour scheme cooled by the pastel blues. Between the rocks, the earth disappeared into deep crevasses established over thousands of years, where one can imagine Tasmania's creatures hiding in shadows along with the mountain's memories of millennia passing.
Framed in a box frame, wood with silvered edge, no glass, very light for its size.
