Moon Shadow - Back Lit Dune - Coorong Theme “Moon Shadow - Back Lit Dune - Coorong Theme”

At evening times in the Coorong - one stumbles on a play of setting light and approaching darkness where you are presented by tangles of shadow and fading light where you lose and connection or content as to what is in front of you. The shadow of the dune and the dune proper are not separated by an horizon. Mixed medium on stretched canvas. Currently at exhibition at Red Poles Gallery.

Split Fog Horizon - Coorong Theme “Split Fog Horizon - Coorong Theme”

Early morning in the Coorong and still lingers and the water edge and the sky share the horizon and the spit of land juts out just visible and appears like spear head creating a split - nature can be very abstract.

Earth Roots Totem - Coorong Theme “Earth Roots Totem - Coorong Theme”

Roots spear deep into the earth and draws up nutrients which in turn feed the earth. And one ponders this to be a hidden totemic. Mixed Medium on stretched canvas and is currently on exhibition at the red Poles Gallery.
