On the pond

On the Pond is a vibrant and textured reflection of a corner of the billabong, where colour and surface come together to evoke a sense of place. A luminous field of turquoise creates still water, while clusters of richly layered marks bloom across the surface showing floating vegetation and reflections caught in shifting light.

The tactile energy within the painting, is achieved by thickly applying medium and scattering colour suggesting the moments rather than a fixed view. Hints of crimson, ochre, pink and white emerge through the surface, creating a sense of depth and history, as though earlier impressions remain just visible.
