Approaching retirement I realised I needed an activity to keep me busy, focused & creative. My challenge was to learn about art, painting the Australian outback landscape in the medium of oil, with a palette knife on timber board or canvas. I always had a fascination about “historical” Broken Hill NSW, in particular the warm colours of the red, orange & purple shadows of the deserts & hills, so that’s where I started - being self taught & painting in a semi-naïve style ( an unsophisticated free style of works). I have been absolutely inspired & motivated by the “Master Artist’s” the “Brushmen of the Bush” & through networking I have been very privileged to discuss & share my tremendous art journey with “Brushman of the Bush” &“Master Artist” Mr. John Pickup OAM & also the subscribers on the Melbourne Art Blog Site AnArt4Life. Happy Painting!!! |
