There is something about the landscape of the Blue Mountains that continues to offer me new possibilities, new painting ideas. It seems eternal but it is always changing. The light changes its colours. The trees go through their natural seasonal changes, fire and water change everything in dramatic ways. There are so many different cloud formations that filter the light down onto the landscape throwing shadows into the valleys. As a painter who is interested in shapes, rhythm and composition, there are always opportunities in these gorges, hills and escarpments.
