The fall of light and shadows doesn’t really make much sense in this one . I was experimenting with painting landscapes wet on wet whereas I normally work up layer by layer drying each before adding the next.
Despite the somewhat paradoxical lighting, I like this overall effect and enjoyed painting it and particularly like the bits of gum tree intruding from the top right. The inspiration was from from some of trees and scrub near the house but the composition is largely imaginary.
Painted in oil on 9″x12″ artists’ board. Haven’t signed it yet as I may work on it a little more sometime.
