“Miena, Tasmania”, 2025

“Miena, Tasmania”, 2025

Oil on wood panel

Size: 50 x 39.8 cm

Inspired by a 2022 photograph of scrubland on the outskirts of Miena, Tasmania, near the southern end of Great Lake in the Central Highlands, I created this painting. The landscape's inherent beauty caught my attention, particularly the interplay of muted grey tones punctuated by vibrant tufts of green grass and exposed ochre earth.  The slender gum trees, their bark shedding and branches reaching elegantly skyward, also held a strong visual appeal.  These spindly forms, with their sinuous lines, resonated with the organic flow and rhythm I sought to capture.
