Golden Hills and Blue Gums. 20"x20" Oil on canvas

My inspiration for this painting was an area around Bathurst. From the one photograph, I managed to create four different images. It's a beautiful part of the country. It was the first time that I had been to the Mitchel school of art and the weather had been hot and dry for months. I just love the dry crinckled look of the ochre paddocks after such a dry spell. The second time I went to Bathurst they had experiencd quite a lot more rain and I was so dissapointed that eveything was very green. I felt cheated but , you can't have it all ways can you?
