This exhibition comprises a selection of my most recent Australian landscapes, painted in watercolour. I have chosen a variety of seasons, to explore changing palettes in the landscape - from the cool blues and lilacs of winter, to the bright colours of summer. I have explored different moods in my compositions, with a range of textural marks to achieve some specific focal points. Locations range from coastal areas with bright water to deep in the bush, with dense foliage, arid grasses and granite rocks.
