Sadly our tracks are not paved with gold in this part of Oz. This is based on a photo I took as I was rambling along a track on one of our neighbours’ properties near Gundaroo early one morning. You’re pretty lucky as early morning walks are not on my normal schedule.
This was another of my small experiments with different blocking out styles. For this one I used a very low detail approach to the block out, just getting the main shapes and shades in place but allowing myself to be playful with the colours rather than sticking as close to my reference photograph as I often try. While not exactly fauvist the blues, reds and purples give it something of that feel.
Oil on board 9″x12″.
