‘Under a Blue Sky’ linocut 60x84cm
This new, rare and exciting range of colourful paintings focuses on iconic elements within the King Valley and adjoining regional landscape. The paintings include houses, churches, silos, fields, sheds, trees, paddocks, hills and other beautiful features of the local environment that I often utilise and have painted in extraordinary detail.
I’m thrilled to also be in this group exhibition at The Art Vault in Mildura
| This summer I have been inspired by the intense colours of the pink, mauve and purple crepe myrtles that line the streets and grace the front yards of homes in Wangaratta. The dry summer makes me notice that the colours and the patterns of harvest still abound in the landscape against the intense green of the ripening grape vines. I have been painting on canvas this summer, exploring all these elements in my local landscape and other places that are near and dear to me. You will be able to see these new paintings at my exhibition Middle Ground 5 April – 6 May at Off Centre Gallery + Studio in Milawa VIC ( Milawa Cheese Factory Complex) To be opened on Saturday 6 April 3pm bySimone Nolan, Gallery Director Wangaratta Art Gallery Group exhibitions I am currently in Drawing From the Line 34 Artists make a printmaking response to poetry, quotations and the words that shape us.
