These landscape paintings are mostly on canvas with some on linen. All are abstracted or semi-abstracted expressing reactions to landforms, spirits and moods of parts of South and Central Australia. Rich colours have been applied in fairly heavy impasto style to engender three-dimensionality. Sizes depend on theme, panoramic nature, detail or abstraction. Eccentrically proportioned canvases emphasise the “view slice” in some works, the intention being to intensify it with super-real presence by colour choice and richly worked texture. The works have a solid almost sculptural feel, at the same time depicting atmosphere and spirit.
