SOMEWHERE ON FOREST DRIVE
Finalist in the Lethbridge Small Scale Award 2022.
I spend much of my time physically toggling between the eclectic urban sunsets of Marrickville and the smorgasbord of the natural beauty of the Canberra Region. I drive around Canberra a lot. This painting was inspired by a visit to the Arboretum on the Easter Long weekend. I took a few out-of-character wrong turns on the way to this great attraction along Forest Drive. I am glad those detours occurred as I was treated to some delightful vistas. This painting is an amalgamation of several points of view across the weekend. Telstra Tower is barely visible but perfectly identifies this great region. I kept my palette knife looser than usual and really tried to be free and flowing with my application of colour. I wanted to capture the vibrancy and buzz, the prettiness and moodiness.
