Nature Listens

Oils on Panel. Majestic Mount wellington is the backdrop to our city of Hobart in Tasmania. A late September 'dumping' of snow and I tried to convey the sience that comes after such an event and the silence of Mother Nature taking control.
I used palette knives and brushes and worked from a small study worked en plein air. The painting was completed in the studio because it was too bloody cold to work outside. I wanted to convey drama and sense of place for this iconic place.
