This painting is of a subject that I came across on the way to an exhibition in Clare. It is just on the outskirts of Auburn in the Clare Valley. Painted in oil in April 2009 75 x 75 Sold
I have been painting for many years and like other Artists there is this constant challenge to make the next painting the best ever. I find that the search for subject matter is almost as enjoyable as doing the painting itself. Most of my paintings are of the South Australian countryside that are painted with the palate knife or a combination of knife and brush.
