Oil paint and acrylic paint pen on canvas
60.9 x 91.4cm

For my Wynne piece, this was my first attempt at a contemporary landscape and oil painting and because of this I decided to do a landscape that I am constantly looking at and have been for years.
My old bedroom has been transformed into my “studio”; in here I have a large glass sliding door that connects to a veranda which peers over my uncle’s backyard and his neighbours’. When sitting down looking out over the yards, I am able to see only what is visible over the wooden veranda rails – the tree line and the sky. 

I have seen some of the best sunsets while sitting there to paint, that have really made me appreciate this suburban area as well as the position I am in and what I have. I think of the energy from the ancestors of this land; their energy filters up into the sky to put on a sight for their country.
