The Long Paddock
Mixed Media on stretched canvas.
A solitary fence post stands firm in the foreground, its barbed wire stretching across the frame like a scar etched into the land.
Beyond it, the earth unfolds in ochre tones - dry, weathered, and vast, yet carrying the quiet strength of the Australian outback.
A small patch of green pasture softens the distance, a fleeting sign of renewal against the sunburnt plains.
On the far horizon, a faint mountain range rises, barely visible, yet anchoring the scene with a sense of permanence and calm.
"The Long Paddock" takes its name from the stock routes that thread across rural Australia, where boundaries blur and the land itself becomes both sustenance and survival.
This artwork reflects the resilience of country, the endurance of its people, and the timeless beauty held in its wide horizon.
Artwork comes with a stunning hand crafted camphor laurel shadow box frame to further encapsulate the experience of my art.
